| high degree of mitochondrial haplotype diversity in the japanease common toad bufo japonicus in urban tokyo. | the japanese common toad bufo japonicus is widely distributed across mainland japan and is classified into two subspecies, b. japonicus japonicus and b. japonicus formosus, in the western and eastern regions, respectively. to investigate the genetic diversity of b. japonicus at the breeding pond (local population) level, we sequenced 831 base pairs of mitochondrial dna (mtdna) cytochrome b (cyt b) from 75 individuals collected from nine ponds in urban tokyo and the surrounding area. phylogenetic ... | 2012 | 23030343 |
