Multiple contact zones and karyotypic evolution in a neotropical frog species complex
Abstract Previous studies of DNA sequence and karyotypic data have revealed high genetic diversity in the Physalaemus cuvieri – Physalaemus ephippifer species complex—a group of small leptodactylid frogs in South America. To date, seven major genetic lineages have been recognized in this group, with...
