Mining expressed sequence tag (EST) microsatellite markers to assess the genetic differentiation of five Hynobius species endemic to Taiwan

Abstract Taiwan harbors five endemic species of salamanders (Hynobius spp.) that inhabit distinct alpine regions, contributing to population fragmentation across isolated “sky islands”. With an evolutionary history spanning multiple glacial-interglacial cycles, these species represent an exceptional...
