Deskripsi
The diskless-fingered odorous frog Odorrana grahami is widely distributed in the high-altitude mountains in the southwestern China and northern Indochina regions. In this study, a comparative analysis of the mitochondrial COI gene sequences was performed to examine the population genetic diversity of 76 individuals from 10 localities across the distributional range of the species. Haplotype diversity and nucleotide diversity were 0.605 and 0.00199, respectively, in the total population. An AMOVA indicated that 47.3% of the total variation originated from variation within individual populations and 52.7% came from variation between the 10 geographic populations. Tests of neutral evolution indicated that a recent expansion occurred in total population. The findings provide useful information for the conservation of this species.
