EVOLUTION OF THE MOSS FROGS (GENUS ARTHROLEPTELLA): FROM GENES TO CONSERVATION.

The article discusses the unusual pattern of evolution of the moss frogs, under the genus Arthroleptella, which complicates the species' conservation management. The species general pattern of allopatry, spatial arrangement of genetic distribution and restricted gene flow are briefly described. However, it cites that the distribution and phylogenetic information it has retrieved from the study can be used in the identification of species and area of conservation priority.
