“…Two nDNA fragments covered the 3 0 end of RAG-1 ($1200 base pairs, bp) along with a non-coding region of the gene that encodes tyrosinase (NCRT, 600 bp). Two mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) genes, ND2 and cytb and their flanking tRNAs (each with $1200 bp) were amplified and sequenced (Wu et al, 2010(Wu et al, , 2013. DNA sequences were aligned manually using Se-Al 2.0 (Rambaut, 1995).…”

“…Pairwise niche-identity tests strongly reject the hypothesis that species share the same realized niche model. This could be the result of differentiated local adaption in some species (e.g., heat tolerance, Wu et al, 2013) and/or mechanisms that prevent one species from expanding its range to include habitat occupied by another species. Such mechanisms may include interspecific competition between geographically neighboring species (e.g., Gifford and Kozak, 2012) or vicariant isolation via unsuitable habitat in the intervening lowlands (e.g., Kozak and Wiens, 2006).…”

“…After over 130 years of taxonomic stability, starting in 2011 P. brevipes was split into four species based largely on deep mtDNA divergences and reciprocal monophyly (Nishikawa et al, 2011;Wu et al, 2012). Because species lineages diagnosed by mtDNA data were not recovered by nDNA data, Wu et al (2013) called them a species complex. Their conservative morphology and variable color patterning limits the number of diagnostic characters (Wu et al, 2010).…”

The effects of Quaternary climatic oscillations on the distributions of organisms in different parts of the world are not equally well understood, limiting the ability to understand the determinants of biodiversity. Compared with the mountain regions in southern Europe and southwestern North America, such effects on high‐elevation species in the East Asian subtropical mountain systems located in southern and southeastern China have seldom been addressed. In this study, using Leptobrachium liui (Megophryidae), we made one of the earliest attempts to examine the interglacial high‐elevation refugia scenario in these Asian mountains. Based on our current understanding of the study system, we formulated a hypothesis that these frogs of western origin were distributed more widely and continuously during glacial phases, allowing eastward dispersal, and that they are currently isolated in interglacial refugia at higher elevations. Microsatellite data and mitochondrial and nuclear sequence data were obtained with extensive sampling followed by the synthesis of phylogeographic and population genetic analyses and modeling of the species distribution. The analyses revealed a sequential eastward divergence of microsatellite clusters and gene lineages accompanied by a decline in genetic diversity. Molecular dating estimates revealed divergence events in the Pleistocene, and a reduction in local populations was inferred to have occurred at a time comparable to the end of the last glacial. Strong genetic isolation by distance reflecting a more continuous historical distribution was detected. Furthermore, environmental niche models inferred a wide planar distribution during the last glacial maximum, providing further support for the hypothesis.
