What this study lacked was inclusion of specimens from across the
Alexander Archipelago, especially newts from outer islands and
especially the Prince of Wales Archipelago.

In 1992 I sent some newts from SE AK to An Ming Tan (Berkeley- Wake
Lab) who was working on a genetics study of the Genus Taricha,
especially granulosa - rough-skinned newt. They published the results
in 2004 and in other papers. Attached is a copy of one of the papers
that indicates the newts from Washington and Alaska are different from
California but similar to one another (the populations). As I read it
the AK newts do have some differences genetically but are not that
different from Washington State populations indicating that Alaska
populations probably came in from a post-glacial refugia ( since last
ice age). Bradford R. Norman.
