Species boundaries, phylogeography and conservation genetics of the red-legged frog (Rana aurora/draytonii) complex.
The red-legged frog, Rana aurora, has been recognized as both a single, polytypic species and as two distinct species since its original description 150 years ago. It is currently recognized as one species with two geographically contiguous subspecies, aurora and draytonii; the latter is protected under the US Endangered Species Act. We present the results of a survey of 50 populations of red-l...
متن کاملPhylogeography and conservation genetics of the Columbia spotted frog (Rana luteiventris; Amphibia, Ranidae).
The Columbia spotted frog (Rana luteiventris) has a widespread distribution in western Canada and the western US, although the southern reach of its range is highly fragmented into several isolated populations. Threats from various factors have raised concerns regarding the long-term survival of many small, isolated populations. Here, we report a study designed to determine the phylogeographic ...
متن کاملFrog calls echo microsatellite phylogeography in the European pool frog (Rana lessonae)
Vocalization is an important component of male reproductive behaviour in a wide range of animal taxa. In some species there is considerable intraspeci®c variation of call characters partitioned on a regional basis. Such `regional accents' could originate from cultural or genetic evolution and have been widely studied in birds. Amphibians, however, have limited learning abilities, and where regi...
متن کاملDiscordant patterns of nuclear and mitochondrial introgression in Iberian populations of the European common frog (Rana temporaria).
Amphibians often show complex histories of intraspecific and interspecific genetic introgression, which might differ in mitochondrial and nuclear genes. In our study of the genetic differentiation of the European common frog, Rana temporaria (159 specimens from 23 populations were analyzed for 24 presumptive allozyme loci; 82 specimens were sequenced for a 540-bp fragment of the mitochondrial 1...
متن کاملPostbreeding Movements of the Dark Gopher Frog, Rana sevosa Goin and Netting: Implications for Conservation and Management
-Conservation plans for amphibians often focus on activities at the breeding site, but for species that use temstrial habitats for much of the year, an understanding of nonbreeding habitat use is also essential. We used radio telemetry to study the postbreeding movements of individuals of the only known population of dark gopher frogs, Rana sevosa, during two breeding seasons (1994 and 1996). M...
