Lannoo Account  Map of Life The following account is modified from Amphibian Declines: The Conservation Status of United States Species, edited by Michael Lannoo (©2005 by the Regents of the University of California), used with permission of University of California Press. The book is available from UC Press. Pseudacris maculata (Agassiz, 1850) Boreal Chorus Frog Emily Moriarty1 Michael J. Lannoo2 The four “subspecies” of the Pseudacris triseriata complex currently recognized by Conant and Collins (1998), including P. maculata (boreal chorus frogs), were initially characterized based on color pattern and morphological variation across their geographic distribution (Smith and Smith, 1952; Harper, 1955; Smith, 1956). Platz and Forester (1988) and Platz (1989) elevated the “subspecies” to specific status using morphometric data and advertisement call characters. However, recent phylogenetic analyses based on DNA sequence data indicate that the currently drawn range borders of subspecies in the triseriata complex do not reflect the distributions of true evolutionary lineages (Moriarty and Cannatella, in preparation). Because the identity and distributions of these anurans have not been resolved, we consider the members of this group together under a Pseudacris triseriata complex account. 1Emily Moriarty University of Texas Texas Memorial Museum 2400 Trinity Austin, Texas 78705 chorusfrog@mail.utexas.edu 2Michael J.
