Notes
Rana sierrae was added to the SEKI vertebrate species list as a result of a revised taxonomic classification based on molecular DNA analysis, vocalization patterns, and phenotypic differences. See: Concordant molecular and phenotypic data delineate new taxonomy and conservation priorities for the endangered mountain yellow-legged frog. V. T. Vredenburg, R. Bingham, R. Knapp, J. A. T. Morgan, C. Moritz & D. Wake. Journal of Zoology 271 (2007) 361–374.
