Movements of the Glandirana Frogs in Japan and South Korea: A Strategy for Defining Geographical Movements of Amphibians by Akira Oike, Koji Tojo, Yoriko Nakamura, Etsuro Ito, Masahisa Nakamura

“…Then, we constructed time-calibrated and RAxML phylogenetic trees based on nucleotide sequences of the mitochondrial genes of the Glandirana frogs in Japan and South Korea. Various sites were used to select SNP data from the Glandirana species and their sex chromosome evolution, and the cladograms we obtained suggest that ancient Glandirana frogs except for one group moved along with the southern landmass, when it was separated from the continent. …”
