A new species of the genus Rana sensu lato Linnaeus, 1758 (Anura, Ranidae) from Wuyi Mountain, Fujian Province, China

ABSTRACT: Abstract A new species of the frog genus Rana sensu lato from Wuyi Mountain, Fujian Province, China is described. Molecular phylogenetic analyses clustered the new species into the R.johnsi group and indicated that it was genetically divergent from its closely related species. The new species could be distinguished from its congeners by a combination of the following characters: body size medium, SVL 41.4–45.6 mm (42.9 ± 1.9 mm, n = 4) in adult males and 47.6–50.3 mm (n = 2) in adult females; adult male with a pair of internal subgular vocal sacs; lateroventral grooves present on tip of toes; webbing on fourth toes reaching the tip of toe; transverse skin ridges distinctly present on the dorsal surface of thigh and tibia, the number large (mean 26.5 ± 2.7, range 22–29, n = 6); breeding males possess creamy white nuptial pad with tiny velvety spines on the dorsal surface of the first finger, divided into three parts.

The complete mitochondrial genome of Rana coreana (Anura: Ranidae).

Project description:Rana coreana is a brown frog species native to the Korean Peninsula. We characterized the complete mitochondrial genome of the species. The mitochondrial genome sequence of R. coreana is 22,262 bp and comprises 13 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes, 22 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, and two control regions (CRs). The CR duplication and gene organization were identical to those observed in Rana kunyuensis and Rana amurensis. A total of 13 protein-coding genes were used to examine the phylogenetic relationships between this species and the genus Rana. R. coreana living on the Korean Peninsula, formed a cluster with R. kunyuensis and R. amurensis, with R. coreana showing the closest phylogenetic affinity for R. kunyuensis.

The complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Rana dabieshanensis (Anura: Ranidae).

Project description:Rana dabieshanensis is a species of frog within the family Ranidae. In this study, we assembled a complete mitochondrial genome (mito-genome) for R. dabieshanensis by high-throughput sequencing technology. It is 18,291 bp and includes 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, two rRNA genes and one control region. The nucleotide composition is A: 27.0%, T: 28.6%, C: 29.3% and G: 15.2%. Two overlaps among the 13 protein-coding genes were found: ATP8/ATP6, ND4L/ND4. The study of phylogenetic analysis based on complete mitochondrial genome showed that there was close genetic relationship between R. dabieshanensis and R. omeimontis and it is useful for systematic analyses of genus Rana.

Sequencing and analysis of the complete mitochondrial genome of Rana amurensis (Anura: Ranidae).

Project description:In this study, the complete mitogenome sequence of Rana amurensis (Anura: Ranidae) is determined using long PCR. It is a circular molecule of 20,571?bp in length (GenBank accession no. MF370348). The complete mtDNA sequence of R. amurensis contained 2 rRNA genes (12S rRNA and 16S rRNA), 22 tRNA genes, 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs) and 2 control regions (D-loops). The nucleotide composition was 28.6% A, 26.8% C, 14.0% G and 30.6% T. Mitochondrial genome analyses based on NJ method yield phylogenetic trees, including that 20 reported family Ranidae frogs. These molecular data presented here provide a useful tool for systematic analyses of genus Rana.

A new species of the genus Rana from Henan, central China (Anura, Ranidae).

Project description:A new species of brown frog Rana luanchuanensis Zhao & Yuan, sp. n. is described from Luanchuan County, western Henan, central China. The mitochondrial genealogy suggests that the new species is the sister taxon to the clade including R. amurensis and R. coreana, and is separated by uncorrected pairwise distances more than 12.5%. Morphologically, this new species differs from its congeners by a suite of characters. Analyses of partial sequences of cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI) resolve the new species as a single matriline.

The complete mitochondrial genome of Rana johnsi (Smith, 2009) (Anura: Ranidae) and its phylogeny.

Project description:Rana johnsi (Smith 2009) firstly considered as the member of genus Pseudorana, has been moved into the genus Rana. In this study, we sequenced the complete mitochondrial (mt) genome of R. johnsi using the Sanger method. The circular mt genome was 17,873 bp in length and contains 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, two ribosome RNA genes, and one control region. The overall nucleotide composition in majority-strand was 28% A, 29% T, 29% C, and 14% G. We discussed the phylogenetic relationship of R. johnsi in genus Rana using ML and BI analyses based on 13 PCGs. Excluding the clade of subgenus Lithobates, Rana draytonii was the basal clade to all other Rana species, which included R. johnsi as the basal clade. The monophyly of genus Rana was supported, whereas Pseudorana was failed to support.

A new species of the Rana japonica group (Anura, Ranidae, Rana) from China, with a taxonomic proposal for the R. johnsi group.

Project description:Rana jiulingensis sp. nov., a new species from Hunan and Jiangxi, southeastern China, is described. The new species is assigned to the R. japonica group. The clade comprising R. jiulingensis sp. nov. and R. dabieshanensis from Anhui is the sister taxon of R. omeimontis from Sichuan. Rana jiulingensis sp. nov. can be distinguished by the significant divergences in the 16S and COI genes, and the combination of following morphological characters: body size medium, SVL 48.3-57.8 mm in adult males and 48.2-57.5 mm in adult females; dorsolateral fold straight; digits without circummarginal grooves; dorsal skin smooth; tibio-tarsal articulation reaching forward beyond the tip of snout; heels overlapping; webbing formula of toes: I 1⅓ - 2 II 1⅓ - 2⅓ III 1½ - 2⅔ IV 3 - 1⅓ V; absence of vocal sacs in males; and presence of creamy white nuptial pad with tiny hoar spines on the finger I and reddish tubercles on loreal and temporal regions in breeding males. Furthermore, based on our results and the previous literature, R. zhengi is synonymized with R. sangzhiensis, and a new species group, the Rana johnsi group, is proposed for the R. johnsi and R. sangzhiensis. Currently, the Rana contains 41 recognized species, and the phylogenetic placements of several species remain unresolved.

The complete mitochondrial genome information of Rana uenoi (Amphibia, Anura, Ranidae) and the phylogenetic implication.

Project description:We determined the complete mitochondrial genome of Rana uenoi (Anura: Ranidae) for the first time. The whole sequences were 17,370 bp and included 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, and 22 transfer RNA genes. The gene arrangement was completely identical to those observed from other Ranidae species. We used 11 protein-coding genes to examine the phylogenetic placement of this species in the genus Rana. Rana dybowskii was the closest sister species to R. uenoi. The clade of R. uenoi and R. dybowskii formed a cluster with Rana huarensis, which had a sister relationship with the group of Rana amurensis, Rana coreana, and Rana kunyuensis.
