Amphibians are good models for investigating the genetics of wild animal populations
because they are:(1) widely distributed in most ecosystems;(2) easy to sample in breeding …

Phylogeographic analysis has become a major tool for investigating historical aspects of
biogeography and population genetic structure. Anuran amphibians are particularly …

One of the most important hotspots of herpetological biodiversity in the United States,
California is home to many endemic amphibians and reptiles found nowhere else on earth …

Phylogenetic relationships among the species of true frogs (Rana) from North, South, and
Central America were investigated based on the sequences of approximately 2kb from the …

II. Vicariant Species Formation E. Estimates of Amphibian Species Diversity A. Dichopatric

We examined fine‐scale genetic variation among breeding aggregations of the spotted
salamander (Ambystoma maculatum) to quantify dispersal, interpopulation connectivity and …

Climate is a core aspect of a species' niche that is frequently incorporated into species
distribution models (SDMs). The proliferation of readily accessible climate data is stimulating …

Identifying congruence in the geographical position of lineage breaks and species range
limits across multiple taxa is a focus of the field of comparative phylogeography. These …

One of the most widely distributed bats in the New World, the big brown bat (Eptesicus
