Phylogeographic Structure Of Co-Distributed, Upland Lineages Of Frogs And Snakes Across Mountain Tops In Peninsular Malaysia

Kawasan pergunungan di serata dunia merupakan kawasan yang mempunyai kepelbagaian tinggi dan spesies-spesies endemik dan Semenanjung Malaysia tidak terkecuali. Struktur filogeografi tiga spesies katak gunung, Metaphrynella pollicaris, Philautus petersi dan Philautus vermiculatus dan tiga genus ular...
