A new species of Hylarana Tschudi, 1838 (Amphibia: Anura: Ranidae) from the Nicobar Islands, India
The island of Great Nicobar is known to support a high degree of herpetofaunal diversity and endemism due to insular isolation. Among them, the population of Hylarana chalconota on this island was assessed to determine its taxonomic status and affinities using morphological, acoustic, and molecular data. Molecular phylogeny based on 16S rRNA showed a considerable amount of genetic divergence with 9.19–16.45% from congeners of the Hylarana chalconota complex. We describe this population as a new species, noting its unique morphological characteristics and phylogenetic position.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Asia-Pacific Biodiversity (previous title was Journal of Korean Nature) is an official journal of National Science Museum of Korea (NSMK) and Korea National Arboretum (KNA). The scope of journal is wide and multidisciplinary that publishes original research papers, review articles, as well as conceptual, technical and methodological papers on all aspects of biological diversity-its description, analysis and conservation, and its application by humankind. This wide and multidisciplinary journal aims to provide both scientists and practitioners in conservation theory, policy and management with comprehensive and applicable information. However, papers should not be submitted that deal with microorganisms, except in invited paper. Articles that are focused on the social and economical aspects of biodiversity will be normally not accepted.
