The complete mitochondrial genome of Lithobates sylvaticus (Anura: Ranidae) was sequenced. The genome is a circular molecule of 17,343 bp in length and contains 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes and a large non-coding region. The gene order and mitochondrial genome information of L. sylvaticus is similar to most other frogs. The overall AT content of L. sylvaticus mitochondrial DNA is 59.3%. In BI and MLtrees, we found L. sylvaticus is a sister clade to L. catesbeianus. The monophyly of Lithobates, Rana, Odorrana, Glandirana, Pelophylax, and Amolops is well supported, but the paraphyly of Babina is supported.

Phylogeny and biogeography of South Chinese brown frogs (Ranidae, Anura)

Few studies have explored the role of Cenozoic tectonic evolution in shaping the patterns and processes of extant animal distributions in and around East Asia. In this study, we selected South Chinese brown frogs as a model to examine the phylogenetic and biogeographical consequences of Miocene tectonic events within South China and its margins. We used mitochondrial and nuclear molecular data to reconstruct phylogenetic interrelationships among Chinese brown frogs using Bayesian and maximum likelihood analyses. The phylogeny results show that there are four main clades of Chinese brown frogs. Excepting the three commonly known Chinese brown frog species groups, R. maoershanensis forms an independent clade nearest to the R. japonica group. Phylogeny and P-distance analyses confirmed R. maoershanensis as a valid species. Among South Chinese brown frogs, there are four subclades associated with four geographical areas: (I) R. maoershanensis; (II) R. japonica; (III) R. chaochiaoensis; and (IV) other species of the R. longicrus species group. Divergence times, estimated using mitochondrial sequences, place the vicariance events among the four subclades in the middle to late Miocene epoch. Our results suggest that (1) South Chinese brown frogs originated due to a vicariance event separating them from the R. chensinensis species group at the time of the Geological movement (~18 million years ago, Ma) in southern Tibet and the Himalayan region; (2) the separation and speciation of R. maoershanensis from the R. japonica group occurred due to the dry climate at approximately 16 Ma; (3) South Chinese brown frogs migrated from South China to Japan at the time (~10.8 Ma) that the global sea-level fell and the East China Sea Shelf Basin was swamp facies, when a land gallery may have formed across the sea to connect the two areas; and (4) R. chaochiaoensis separated from other species of the R. longicrus species group during the uplift of the Tibetan Plateau at approximately 9.5 Ma.

“…Comparative analysis showed that the longest IGN between A. americanus and Bufotes pewzowi had a high similarity (76.9%). In many vertebrates, there is usually a trnL (CUN) gene following the trnS (AGY) gene (Cheng et al, 2018;Lin et al, 2014;Ni et al, 2016;Ye et al, 2016;. However, when the trnL (CUN) gene is translocated, an IGN is left in its original position (Zhou et al, 2009).…”

Mitogenomes are useful in analyzing phylogenetic relationships and also appear to influence energy metabolism, thermoregulation and osmoregulation. Much evidence has accumulated for positive selection acting on mitochondrial genes associated with environmental adaptation. Hence, the mitogenome is a likely target for environmental selection. The family Bufonidae (true toads) has only nine complete and four partial mitogenomes published compared to the 610 known species of this family. More mitogenomes are needed in order to obtain a clearer understanding of the phylogenetic relationships within Bufonidae that are currently controversial. To date, no mitogenomes have been reported from the genera Anaxyrus and Bufotes. Anaxyrus americanus can live in low temperature environments and Bufotes pewzowi can live in high salinity environments. We sequenced the mitogenomes of these two species to discuss the phylogenetic relationships within Bufonidae and the selection pressures experienced by specimens living in low temperature or saline environments. Like other toads, the circular mitogenomes of both species contained the typical 37 genes. Anaxyrus americanus had the highest A+T content of the complete mitogenome among the Bufonidae. In addition, A. americanus showed a negative AT-skew in the control region, whereas Bufotes pewzowi showed a positive AT-skew. Additionally, both toad species had unique molecular features in common: an ND1 gene that uses TTG as the start codon, an extra unpaired adenine (A) in the anticodon arm of trnS (AGY), and the loss of the DHU loop in trnC. The monophyly of Bufonidae was corroborated by both BI and ML trees. An analysis of selective pressure based on the 13 protein coding genes was conducted using the EasyCodeML program. In the branch model analysis, we found two branches of A. americanus and Bufotes pewzowi that were under negative selection. Additionally, we found two positively selected sites (at positions 115 and 119, BEB value > 0.90) in the ND6 protein in the site model analysis. The residue D (119) was located only in A. americanus and may be related to adaptive evolution in low temperature environments. However, there was no evidence of a positively selected site in Bufotes pewzowi in this study.
