Pelophylax bergeri Italian Pool Frog, Rana di Berger

Eicat category
MV (Massive)
Justification for EICAT assessment
Impact through hybridisation between P. bergeri and P. lessonae is massive, hybrids have completely replaced the native P. lessonae (Dubey et al. 2014; Dufresnes et al. 2007, Dufresnes and Dubey 2020). The deep introgression has colapsed the genetic structure of the native Pelophylax populations (Dubey et al. 2014).
Confidence rating
High
Mechanism(s) of maximum impact
Hybridisation
Countries of most severe impact
France; Switzerland
Description of impacts
Hybridisation - genetic introgression between Pelophylax bergeri and the native species P. lessonae
and P. esculentus has led to the replacement of most pure native populations.
