| evolutionary relationships and reproductive isolating mechanisms in the rice frog (fejervarya limnocharis) species complex from sri lanka, thailand, taiwan and japan, inferred from mtdna gene sequences, allozymes, and crossing experiments. | the rice frog (fejervarya limnocharis) species complex is widely distributed, from india to japan, and most prevalently in southeast asia. conspicuous morphological variation has been reported for this species complex throughout its distribution range. in the present study, we used mtdna gene sequence and allozyme analyses to infer evolutionary affinities within this species complex using eight populations (sri lanka; bangkok and ranong in thailand; taiwan; and hiroshima, okinawa, ishigaki and i ... | 2007 | 17867856 |
