Mitochondrial DNA A DNA Mapp Seq Anal. 2016 Sep;27(5):3434-7. doi: 10.3109/19401736.2015.1025266. Epub 2015 Mar 25.
We present the full-length mitogenome sequences of four European water frog species: Pelophylax cypriensis, P. epeiroticus, P. kurtmuelleri and P. shqipericus. The mtDNA size varied from 17,363 to 17,895 bp, and its organization with the LPTF tRNA gene cluster preceding the 12 S rRNA gene displayed the typical Neobatrachian arrangement. Maximum likelihood and Bayesian inference revealed a well-resolved mtDNA phylogeny of seven European Pelophylax species. The uncorrected p-distance for among Pelophylax mitogenomes was 9.6 (range 0.01-0.13). Most divergent was the P. shqipericus mitogenome, clustering with the "P. lessonae" group, in contrast to the other three new Pelophylax mitogenomes related to the "P. bedriagae/ridibundus" lineage. The new mitogenomes resolve ambiguities of the phylogenetic placement of P. cretensis and P. epeiroticus.
塞浦路斯水蛙（Pelophylax cypriensis）、伊庇鲁斯水蛙（P. epeiroticus）、库尔特米勒水蛙（P. kurtmuelleri）和阿尔巴尼亚水蛙（P. shqipericus）。线粒体DNA大小在17,363至17,895碱基对之间，其组织形式为LPTF tRNA基因簇位于12S rRNA基因之前，呈现出典型的新蛙亚目排列。最大似然法和贝叶斯推断揭示了七种欧洲水蛙物种的线粒体DNA系统发育关系。水蛙线粒体基因组之间的未校正p距离为9.6（范围为0.01 - 0.13）。分歧最大的是阿尔巴尼亚水蛙的线粒体基因组，它与“莱松水蛙（P. lessonae）”组聚类，而其他三个新的水蛙线粒体基因组则与“贝德里亚加水蛙（P. bedriagae）/泽陆蛙（ridibundus）”谱系相关。新的线粒体基因组解决了克里特水蛙（P. cretensis）和伊庇鲁斯水蛙系统发育位置的模糊性。
