| description of four new species of burrowing frogs in the fejervarya rufescens complex (dicroglossidae) with notes on morphological affinities of fejervarya species in the western ghats. | the rufescent burrowing frog, fejervarya rufescens, is thought to have a wide distribution across the western ghats in peninsular india. this locally abundant but secretive species has a short breeding period, making it a challenging subject for field studies. we sampled 16 populations of frogs morphologically similar to f. rufescens in order to understand the variation among populations found across the western ghats. our study shows significant morphological and genetic differences among the s ... | 2017 | 30308626 |
