Abstract excerpt
Amphibian populations are rapidly declining worldwide due to habitat degradation and climate change, with species occupying narrow ecological niches facing particularly high extinction risks. Effective conservation requires a clear understanding of species-specific genetic diversity and population structure. In this study, we performed a population-level genetic analysis of the gold-spotted pond frog, Pelophylax...
