Phylogenetic Relationships of the Chinese Brown Frogs (Genus Rana) Inferred from Partial Mitochondrial 12S and 16S rRNA Gene Sequences

Based on partial sequences of the 12S and 16S ribosomal RNA genes, we estimated phylogenetic relationships among brown frogs of the Rana temporaria group from China. From the phylogenetic trees obtained, we propose to include Rana zhengi in the brown frogs. Monophyly of the brown frogs was not unamb...
