THE MARSH FROGS (PELOPHYLAX RIDIBUNDUS COMPLEX) IN CENTRAL KAZAKHSTAN: EXPANSION AND RETREAT

For two decades after an occasional introduction in the middle of the 20th century, marsh frogs (complex Pelophylax ridibundus) have spread across many water bodies of Central Kazakhstan (Kazakh Upland, KU). The questions of which genetic forms of the complex have become entrenched in the region a...
