Population Genetics And Distribution Of Two Sympatric Frog Species In Peninsular Malaysia, Fejevarya Cancrivora (Gravenhorst, 1829) And Fejevarya Limnocharis (Boie, 1834)

A population genetic study of two sympatric frog species in Peninsular Malaysia, Fejevarya cancrivora and F. limnocharis was conducted using the highly evolving D-loop segment of mtDNA. The genetic survey was conducted on six populations (26 individuals) of F. cancrivora from northern Peninsular Mal...
