Resultant phylogenetic trees indicated a considerable genetic differentia- tion between R. longicrus and R. japonica in spite of their close morphological and ecological similarities. The R. sauteri complex includes two genetically distinct groups that are not consistent with current classifica- tion. One group including populations of Alishan (central Taiwan) and Sanyi (western Taiwan) seemed to be closest to R. tagoi and the presumptive common ancestor of these frogs is thought to have diverged very early. Another group including a population from Wulai (northern Taiwan) showed a sister relationship with R. tsushimensis and R. okinavana, both isolated on small islands of Japan. These Taiwanese and Japanese brown frogs as a whole form a monophyletic group, and separation of the R.

(Accepted April 14, 1997) Wen-Hao Chou and Jun-Yi Lin (1997) Geographical variations of Rana sauteri (Anura: Ranidae) in Taiwan. Zoological Studies 36(3): 201-221. Rana sauteri is widely distributed in hills and mountains of Taiwan from 100 to 3000 m in elevation, a range including SUbtropical to cool temperate climatic zones. Both the gastro­ myzophorous tadpoles and adults have distinct geographical variations in morphology. Clinal variation in the shape of the upper jaw sheath and the number of labial tooth rows occurs from the foothills of western Taiwan eastward through the Central Mountain Range to the eastern slopes of the Central Mountain Range. This geographical pattern is supported and validated by multivariate analyses of adult morphology. Ac­ cording to the dispersal hypothesis, this geographical pattern may suggest that the dispersal center (= initial range of the ancestral group) was located in the western foothills, and it may indicate that the population expanded radially through the clinally variable transition zone to areas adjacent to the ridge of the Central Mountain Range (= range of the derived group). However, the establishment of the geographical pattern of R. sauteri seems to be better explained by the vicariance hypothesis which supports the occurrence of isolation-based dichotomous divergence within this grossly defined taxon.

(Accepted October 23, 2002) Su-Ju Lai, Yeong-Choy Kam and Yao-Sung Lin (2003) Elevational variation in reproductive and life history traits of Sauter’s frog Rana sauteri Boulenger, 1909 in Taiwan. Zoological Studies 42(1): 193-202. Sauter’s frog, Rana sauteri Boulenger, 1909 in the west-central part of the Central Mountain Range of Taiwan at eleva- tions of 300 to 2360 m showed obvious elevational clines in reproductive and life cycle traits. With an increase in elevation, the breeding season and the periods of calling, aggregation, and egg deposition of mature frogs shifted from fall and winter (Oct. to Dec.) to spring (May), while the breeding period decreased but the larval period increased. Also, adult females at high elevations were larger and produced smaller clutch sizes but larg- er eggs and tadpoles. The temperature experiment showed that low temperatures in winter at high elevations and high temperatures in summer at low elevations are the primary environmental factors that define the breed- ing success of the species. Rana sauteri has experienced long-term selection by environmental factors (e.g., temperature), resulting in populations at high elevations breeding in spring and populations at low elevations breeding in fall and winter to ensure that their tadpoles can grow and complete metamorphosis.

Thank to Allah, who has always embraced me in any situation, especially during my doctoral studies. The work I have done over the past five years is dedicated not only to myself, but also to all the people, who came into my life for various reasons. Also, this thesis is my small contribution to Indonesia (the “Ibu Pertiwi”) and its fascinating biodiversity. I hope to continue actively contributing to the field of herpetology in the future, simply because it is my greatest passion! During my childhood, especially through my high school years, it never crossed my mind that I would end up becoming a scientist. Coming from an ordinary Indonesian family and living in a small town made my parents worry about the education their children would need, in order to have a better life in the future.

  • Intraspecific Relationships of Populations of the Brown Frog Rana Sauteri (Ranidae) on Taiwan, Inferred from Mitochondrial Cytochrome B Sequences
    ZOOLOGICAL SCIENCE 26: 608–616 (2009) ¤ 2009 Zoological Society of Japan Intraspecific Relationships of Populations of the Brown Frog Rana sauteri (Ranidae) on Taiwan, Inferred from Mitochondrial Cytochrome b Sequences Nian-Hong Jang-Liaw1* and Tsung-Han Lee2 1Department of Zoology, National Museum of Natural Science, 1st Kuang-Chien Rd., Taichung 40453, Taiwan 2Department of Life Sciences, National Chung Hsing University, 250 Kuo-Kuang Rd., Taichung 40227, Taiwan We studied the phylogenetic relationships among populations of Rana sauteri using partial sequences of the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene from 244 samples from 29 localities in Taiwan. We detected 77 haplotypes among these sequences. The phylogenetic trees contained five distinct lineages: the northern (NL), eastern (EL), southern hill (SHL), northern mountain (NML), and south- ern mountain (SML) lineages, defined by geographical distribution. The lineage phylogeny did not support the two-species hypothesis inferred from larval morphology. To describe the possible col- onization history of R. sauteri in Taiwan, we propose hypotheses of within-island differentiation and a multiple-invasion model. Using a molecular clock, we estimated the order of divergence times between lineages in order to test the migration hypothesis. The multiple-invasion model was well supported by the phylogeny and a nested clade network. Key words: Rana sauteri, mtDNA, cytochrome b, phylogeography, Taiwan include Guangxi Province, China (Tian and Jian, 1986; Zhao INTRODUCTION and Adler, 1993). Unfortunately, no specimens of R. sauteri Taiwan is a subtropical island located between 21°53’N from China were located for examination. Smith (1921) and 25°37’N, with mountains up to 3952 m high.
