Integrating phylogeographic and phenotypic evidence to delimit deep evolutionary lineages in the Dryophytes japonicus species complex, with an assessment of their conservation need... by Amaël Borzée, Yikweon Jang, Siti N. Othman, Jordy Groffen, Irina V. Maslova, Zoljargal Purevdorj, Kiyomi Yasumiba, Tomohiko Shimada, Yoonjung Yi, Natalya Alekseevna Schepina, Desiree Andersen, Yoonhyuk Bae, Ikuo Miura, Christophe Dufresnes

“…Earlier studies on the northeast Asian treefrog, Dryophytes japonicus, identified a deep Mio-Pliocene diversification; however, phenotypic assessments were lacking, and the taxonomic identity of the identified clades is under debate. In this study, we assessed the genetic, genomic, morphological, and acoustic diversity and differentiation within the D. japonicus complex to propose taxonomic arrangements and assess taxon-specific threats for each defined clade. …”
