| phylogeography and demographic history of babina pleuraden (anura, ranidae) in southwestern china. | factors that determine genetic structure of species in southwestern china remain largely unknown. in this study, sequences of two mitochondrial genes (coi and cyt b) were determined to investigate the phylogeography and demography of babina pleuraden, a pond frog endemic to southwestern china. a total of 262 individuals from 22 populations across the entire range of the species were collected. our results indicate that b. pleuraden comprises five well-supported mitochondrial lineages roughly cor ... | 2012 | 22448286 |
