Abstract excerpt
Odorrana schmackeri sensu lato, a group of montane stream-dwelling amphibians in southern China, provides an ideal model for deciphering how Cenozoic geological and climatic dynamics drive cryptic diversification. By integrating mitochondrial 12S/16S rRNA sequences from 1,398 samples spanning 107 populations and genome-wide SNP data from 193 individuals across 18 populations, we reconstruct the geographic...
