@ARTICLE{TreeBASE2Ref17060, author = {Edward Pfeiler and Therese A. Markow}, title = {Phylogenetic relationships of leopard frogs (Rana pipiens complex) from an isolated coastal mountain range in southern Sonora, Mexico}, year = {2008}, keywords = {}, doi = {}, url = {}, pmid = {}, journal = {Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution}, volume = {}, number = {}, pages = {}, abstract = {Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequence data from the control region and 12S rRNA in a sample of leopard frogs from the Sierra El Aguaje in southern Sonora, Mexico, together with available sequences from leopard frogs deposited in GenBank, were used to infer taxonomic identity and provide phylogenetic hypotheses for relationships with other selected members of the Rana pipiens complex. The results suggest that frogs from the Sierra El Aquaje (Rana sp. Aguaje) belong to the R. berlandieri subgroup, or Scurrilirana clade, of the R. pipiens group, and are most closely related to a lineage of leopards frogs from Nayarit, Mexico identified as R. magnaocularis. We also have provided further evidence that R. magnaocularis and R. yavapaiensis are close relatives, as previously suggested from both morphological, allozyme and mtDNA analyses.} }
