About this document

Paradoxical Frogs: Phylogeny & Biogeography by rosa is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This study reconstructs the phylogenetic relationships of nine species of South American paradoxical frogs using mitochondrial DNA sequences. It suggests the resurrection of the genus Podonectes to maintain monophyly and discusses the biogeographic implications of the findings, including recent dispersals and a vicariant event affecting species distribution. The research highlights the complexity of species status and the need for further taxonomic evaluations due to potential cryptic diversity.
