1. Some taxonomists have proposed changing the genus name of North American toads to Anaxyrus, to better reflect the phylogenetic separation of the New World taxa from Old World Bufo. This has met with some resistance, but is generally being accepted. Frost, D. (2006). The amphibian Tree of Life. Bulletin of the American Museum of Natural History 297: 1–371.
2. Recent phylogenetic analysis of the ranid frogs of North America has resulted in the reassignment of these species to the genus Lithobates, by some authorities, but has been disputed by others. Hillis, D. M. (2007) Constraints in naming parts of the Tree of Life. Mol. Phylogenet. Evol. 42: 331–338.
