Historical biogeography and systematics of yellow-bellied toads (Bombina variegata), with the description of a new subspecies from the Balkans by Christophe Dufresnes, Simeon Lukanov, Sven Gippner, Johanna Ambu, Ilias Strachinis, Dragan Arsovski, Benjamin Monod-Broca, Hugo Cayuela, Petros Lymberakis, Daniele Canestrelli, Dan Cogălniceanu, Nikolay A.

Spatiotemporal patterns of diversification suggest a role for a Late Miocene marine incursion in the Pannonian Plain (Paratethys) as the initial trigger of divergence, followed by a vicariance event in the Apennines and a “sky island” process of Pleistocene differentiation in the Balkan Peninsula. …”
