Biogeography and Niche Evolution of Odorrana schmackeri Complex in Southern China

The Odorrana schmackeri complex (OSC), widely distributed across southern China, presents intriguing mysteries regarding its diversification dynamics. Resolving these evolutionary enigmas would establish a crucial foundation for understanding biogeographic evolution in this topographically complex region. Therefore, we integrated phylogenetic, demographic, and ecological niche analyses to elucidate the roles of ancient tectonism, Quaternary climatic fluctuations, and niche evolution in shaping its diversification and distribution.
