Article Synopsis
- Extreme temperatures pose a significant threat to ectotherms like amphibians, particularly affecting their survival and development.
- The study focused on various populations of a "hot spring frog," examining their heat tolerance and development speed at different temperatures.
- Results indicated differences in heat tolerance among populations, with the Seranma hot spring group showing the highest survival and faster development, but all populations struggled to survive beyond 35°C, challenging earlier field observations.
The mitochondrial genome (mt-genome) is one of the promising molecular markers for phylogenetics and population genetics. Recently, various mt-genomes have been determined rapidly by using massively parallel sequencers. However, the control region (CR, also called D-loop) in mt-genomes remain difficult to precisely determine due to the presence of repeat regions.
