Journal ArticleDOI
Spiny frogs (Paini) illuminate the history of the Himalayan region and Southeast Asia
Jing Che,Wei-Wei Zhou,Jian-Sheng Hu,Fang Yan,Theodore J. Papenfuss,David B. Wake,Ya-Ping Zhang +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show how the tectonic events induced by the Indo-Asian collision affected the regional biota and how the geological history of the earth can be viewed from a biological perspective.
Journal ArticleDOI
Whole-genome sequence of the Tibetan frog Nanorana parkeri and the comparative evolution of tetrapod genomes
Yan Bo Sun,Zi Jun Xiong,Xueyan Xiang,Shiping Liu,Wei-Wei Zhou,Xiao Long Tu,Xiao Long Tu,Li Zhong,Lu Wang,Dong-Dong Wu,Bao Lin Zhang,Bao Lin Zhang,Chun Ling Zhu,Min Min Yang,Hong Man Chen,Fang Li,Long Zhou,Shaohong Feng,Chao Huang,Guojie Zhang,David M. Irwin,David M. Irwin,David M. Hillis,Robert W. Murphy,Robert W. Murphy,Huanming Yang,Jing Che,Jun Wang,Ya-Ping Zhang,Ya-Ping Zhang +29 more
TL;DR: A de novo genome of the Tibetan frog, Nanorana parkeri, is provided and a series of comparisons with other vertebrates are conducted to offer an improved understanding of evolution of tetrapod genomes and also provides a genomic reference for other evolutionary studies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spatiotemporal Diversification of the True Frogs (Genus Rana): A Historical Framework for a Widely Studied Group of Model Organisms.
Zhi-Yong Yuan,Wei-Wei Zhou,Xin Chen,Nikolay A. Poyarkov,Hong-Man Chen,Nian-Hong Jang-Liaw,Wen-Hao Chou,Nicholas J. Matzke,Koji Iizuka,Mi-Sook Min,Sergius L. Kuzmin,Ya-Ping Zhang,David C. Cannatella,David M. Hillis,Jing Che +14 more
TL;DR: A well-resolved, time-calibrated phylogeny from sequences of six nuclear and three mitochondrial loci sampled from most species of Rana is used to clarify the group's diversification and global biogeography, and suggests that previous classifications were misled by morphological homoplasy and plesiomorphic color patterns.
Journal ArticleDOI
Geological events play a larger role than Pleistocene climatic fluctuations in driving the genetic structure of Quasipaa boulengeri (Anura: Dicroglossidae)
Fang Yan,Fang Yan,Wei-Wei Zhou,Haitao Zhao,Zhi-Yong Yuan,Zhi-Yong Yuan,Yun-yu Wang,Ke Jiang,Jie-Qiong Jin,Robert W. Murphy,Robert W. Murphy,Jing Che,Ya-Ping Zhang,Ya-Ping Zhang +13 more
TL;DR: The complex orogenesis of south‐western China drove matrilineal divergence in Q. boulengeri into highly structured geographical units, and these matrilines subsequently persisted in situ with stable populations rather than undergoing expansions during glacial cycling.
Journal ArticleDOI
Speciation in the Rana chensinensis species complex and its relationship to the uplift of the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau
Wei-Wei Zhou,Yang Wen,Yang Wen,Jinzhong Fu,Yong-Biao Xu,Jie-Qiong Jin,Li Ding,Mi-Sook Min,Jing Che,Ya-Ping Zhang,Ya-Ping Zhang +10 more
TL;DR: An investigation into speciation in the Rana chensinensis species complex using DNA sequence data from one mitochondrial and five nuclear genes revealed four major clades in the complex, and each was found to likely represent a species, including one cryptic species.
