Allozyme variation among populations of Rana pirica (Amphibia : Anura)
Genetic variation of Rana pirica, an east Asian brown frog of the R. temporaria group, was elucidated by analysing 140 specimens from 11 populations from Hokkaido and Sakhalin, both locating near the eastern coasts of the Asian continent, and 12 specimens of R. ornativentris from Honshu, Japan mainl...
