Bayesian phylogenetic trees from the mitochondrial control region (d-loop; left), an intron of alpha-tropomyo-
sine (right, gray) and a fragment of the RAG 1 gene. The markers comprise 541 bp of the mtDNA control region, 405
bp of alpha-tropomyosine introns, and 860 bp of RAG-1; Bayesian posterior support values for major nodes are written above

the major locality information. (Note that each label on the nuclear trees corresponds to the exactly horizontally opposite
label of the d-loop tree. ("B." in the d-loop tree stands for Bufo; all samples labeled "B." were sequenced by A. Sicilia; all "Bufo"
samples were sequenced by M. Stöck).
