Phylogeny of Raninae (Anura: Ranidae) inferred from mitochondrial and nuclear sequences

Microhabitat partitioning of closely related Sarawak (Malaysian Borneo)frog species previously assigned to the genus Hylarana (Amphibia: Anura)

“…This study did not support the previous placement of A. nicobariensis in the genus Ferjevarya as in Frost et al (2006). Recent placement of Fejervarya (Sylvirana) nicobariensis into Amnirana nicobariensis (Chen et al, 2005;Che et al, 2007;Frost, 2008Frost, , 2016) is acceptable. The pattern of intraspecific variation shown by C. raniceps was congruent with H. erythraea (Zainudin et al, 2010) in revealing that the landscapes of Borneo following the biogeographical divisions of Bornean plants (MacKinnon et al, 1996) might contribute to this variation.…”

Molecular phylogeny of Rhacophoridae (Anura): A framework of taxonomic reassignment of species within the genera Aquixalus, Chiromantis, Rhacophorus, and Philautus

“…Nuclear rhodopsin and tyrosinase have been widely used to infer amphibian phylogenies (Bossuyt and Milinkovitch, 2000;Che et al, 2007;Frost et al, 2006). In our analyses, the nuclear tree was less resolved than mtDNA gene tree.…”

Molecular phylogeny and diversification of the genus Odorrana (Amphibia, Anura, Ranidae) inferred from two mitochondrial genes

“…The taxonomy and phylogeny of Odorrana have long attracted the interest of evolutionary biologists and have been investigated using both morphological and molecular data (Dubois, 1992;Fei et al, 1990Fei et al, , 2009Fei et al, , 2010Ye and Fei, 2001;Bain et al, 2003;Chen et al, 2005;Jiang and Zhou, 2005;Frost et al, 2006;Matsui et al, 2005;Cai et al, 2007;Che et al, 2007;Stuart, 2008;Wiens et al, 2009;Kurabayashi et al, 2010;Pyron and Wiens, 2011). Although considerable progress has been made in the past two decades toward advancing our understanding of Odorrana phylogenetics and taxonomy, these studies have left unresolved issues and also created some new controversies.…”
