Article Synopsis
- The Andean Altiplano has historically influenced species diversification, particularly in the Telmatobius marmoratus complex, which we studied using genetic variability and migration patterns based on the cytochrome b gene.
- We found four main genetic clades, with significant connections among Telmatobius gigas, T. marmoratus, and T. culeus, indicating complex evolutionary relationships and weaker geographic structure than expected.
- Analysis highlights that protected areas in Chile conserve over half of the phylogenetic diversity (PD) of T. marmoratus, while unprotected populations are also significant for overall diversity, pointing to the impact of recent climatic changes on species connectivity and population dynamics.
