29 Rana temporaria - “The European common frog contains deep mitochondrial lineages, some of which are given the rank of subspecies (Veith et al., 2002, 2003, 2012; Palo et al., 2004; Teacher et al., 2009), but the exact geographic distribution of these lineages is unknown, as a range-wide comprehensive phylogeographic study for this species is missing so far” (Vences et al., 2013). The phylogenetic study by Stefani et al. (2012) does not support any taxonomic distinction at the subspecific level for R. temporaria in Italy.
