Phylogenetic relationships of Ansonia from Southeast Asia inferred from mitochondrial DNA sequences: Systematic and biogeographic implications (Anura : Bufonidae)
We investigated the phylogenetic relationships and estimated the history of species diversification and biogeography in the bufonid genus Ansonia from Southeast Asia, a unique organism with tadpoles adapted to life in strong currents chiefly in montane regions and also in lowland rainforests.

| description | We investigated the phylogenetic relationships and estimated the history of species diversification and
biogeography in the bufonid genus Ansonia from Southeast Asia, a unique organism with tadpoles
adapted to life in strong currents chiefly in montane regions and also in lowland rainforests. We estimated
phylogenetic relationships among 32 named and unnamed taxa using 2461 bp sequences of the
mitochondrial 12S rRNA, tRNAval, and 16S rRNA genes with equally-weighted parsimony, maximum likelihood,
and Bayesian methods of inference. Monophyletic clades of Southeast Asian members of the
genus Ansonia are well-supported, allowing for the interpretation of general biogeographic conclusions.
The genus is divided into two major clades. One of these contains two reciprocally monophyletic subclades,
one from the Malay Peninsula and Thailand and the other from Borneo. |
