“…Our sample of M. fowleri was obtained from Phrae, not distant from the type locality, but was not much divergent from M. berdmorei, with p-distance of 3.9-4.4%. This result favors synonymizing M. fowleri with M. berdmorei as already done by Taylor (1962).…”

“…In our results Micryletta inornata was paraphyletic with respect to M. steinegeri. The sample of M. inornata from northern Thailand (M. i. inornata) and M. steinegeri were genetically close (uncorrected p-distance in 16S of 2.9%), while the sample of M. inornata from southern Thailand (M. i. lineata of Taylor, 1962) was more divergent from them with uncorrected p-distances of 4.9-5.1%, which values exceed those reported between different frog species (Fouquet et al, 2007). These results support the separation of two subspecies of M. inornata into two distinct species, but such a revision includes problems.…”

“…Microhyla fowleri was originally described from Chiang Mai, Siam (=Thailand: Taylor, 1934), but was later synonymized with M. berdmorei by the author himself (Taylor, 1962). However, some authors still treat it as a valid species, without close comparison of the two taxa (Dubois, 1987;Yang and Rao, 2008;Fei et al, 2009).…”

“…We sampled frogs from across Southeast Asia that were identified in taxonomic studies on the basis of morphology as O. livida and R. chalconota (Boulenger 1920;Taylor 1962;Inger 1966;Inger & Chanard 1997;Bain et al 2003). We sequenced and analysed 2150 aligned characters of mitochondrial (mt) DNA (partial COXIII, complete tRNA Gly , complete ND3, partial tRNA Arg , partial 16S, partial tRNA Met , complete ND2, and partial tRNA Trp genes) from frogs morphologically resembling O. livida and 1082 aligned characters of mt DNA (partial COXIII, complete tRNA Gly , complete ND3, partial tRNA Arg , partial 16S genes) from frogs morphologically resembling R. chalconota.…”

High level of cryptic species diversity revealed by sympatric lineages of Southeast Asian forest frogs

2006

Amphibians tend to exhibit conservative morphological evolution, and the application of molecular and bioacoustic tools in systematic studies have been effective at revealing morphologically 'cryptic' species within taxa that were previously considered to be a single species. We report molecular genetic findings on two forest-dwelling ranid frogs from localities across Southeast Asia, and show that sympatric evolutionary lineages of morphologically cryptic frogs are a common pattern. These findings imply that species diversity of Southeast Asian frogs remains significantly underestimated, and taken in concert with other molecular investigations, suggest there may not be any geographically widespread, forest-dwelling frog species in the region. Accurate assessments of diversity and distributions are needed to mitigate extinctions of evolutionary lineages in these threatened vertebrates.

The Identification of the Sex Chromosome and Karyotype of Four Toad Species (Genus Bufo) in Thailand by T-lymphocyte Cell Culture

et al. 2008

Summary Our knowledge is the first report on karyotypic study of four toad species (genus Bufo) in Thailand namely; large-eared toad (Bufo macrotis Boulenger 1887), Indochinese dwarf toad (Bufo parvus Boulenger 1887), common Indian toad (Bufo melanostictus Schneider 1799) and river giant toad (Bufo asper Gravenhorst 1829). Blood samples were taken from 5 males and 5 females of each four toad species. After the standard whole blood T-lymphocyte culture in the presence of colchicine, the metaphase spreads were performed on microscopic slides and air-dried. Conventional staining, G-banding and C-banding techniques were applied to stain the chromosomes. The results indicated 2nϭ22 and fundamental number (NF) 44 in both male and female of four toad species. The autosomes of B. macrotis and B. melanostictus is being as 18 metacentric and 4 submetacentric chromosomes while B. parvus and B. asper is as 16 metacentric and 6 submetacentric chromosomes. Gbanding technique showed a B. melanostictus's constriction on short arm of Y chromosome (the largest chromosome) but did not show on X chromosome. C-banding technique demonstrated a dark band constriction on Y chromosome of B. melanostictus, the representative of constitutive heterochromatin. However, there is no dark band constriction on X chromosome. So, we conclude that the sex determination of B. melanostictus is XY system. Although we do not treat B. macrotis, B. parvus and B. asper with G-banding and C-banding technique, we also predict that those three species have the same sex determination as B. melanostictus. We extremely appreciate to public our present research, the first cytogenetic study of B. macrotis and B. asper.
