Postmating isolation and evolutionary relationships among Fejervarya species from Lesser Sunda, Indonesia and other Asian countries revealed by crossing experiments and mtDNA Cytb gene sequences
Abstract:In order to interpret the degree of postmating isolation and the
evolutionary relationships among Fejervarya species from Indonesia
(Lesser Sunda), Bangladesh, China, and Japan, crossing experiments and
molecular phylogenetic analyses were carried out using frogs of
Fejervarya species from these countries. The crossing experiments
revealed that the reciprocal hybrids among F. iskandari, F. verruculosa,
and F. sp. Large type, and those between F. multistriata and F.
kawamurai were viable through metamorphosis, … Show more
