| phylogeny and biogeography of south chinese brown frogs (ranidae, anura). | few studies have explored the role of cenozoic tectonic evolution in shaping the patterns and processes of extant animal distributions in and around east asia. in this study, we selected south chinese brown frogs as a model to examine the phylogenetic and biogeographical consequences of miocene tectonic events within south china and its margins. we used mitochondrial and nuclear molecular data to reconstruct phylogenetic interrelationships among chinese brown frogs using bayesian and maximum lik ... | 2017 | 28369142 |
