TL;DR: In this paper, records of the Arabian Toad and the Dhofar Toad in the UAE and adjacent areas of northern Oman are mapped and some recent observations presented, showing that the latter is more widely distributed in more mesic habitats and benefits from the increase in artificially irrigated habitats.
Abstract: Records of the Arabian Toad (Duttaphrynus arabicus) and the Dhofar Toad (Duttaphrynus dhufarensis) in the UAE and adjacent areas of northern Oman are mapped and some recent observations presented. The Arabian Toad is more widely distributed in more mesic habitats and benefits from the increase in artificially irrigated habitats. The Dhofar Toad is able to live in drier areas but its distribution pattern suggests it may be outcompeted by the Arabian Toad in wetter areas with greater availability of surface water.
