The aims of this study was to relationship between systematic of fanged frogs are assessed by using
the nuclear POMC gene from twenty three samples. It is suggested that there are three monophyletic groups
in which the L. gyldenstolpei, L. hascheanus and L. limborgi were clustered together (group I); L. blythii (group
II) and L. taylori, L. jarujini and L. megastomias (group III). Sequence analyses indicated that Limnonectes in
Thailand has genetic diversity (h = 0.96, π = 0.045). Analysis of genetic distance on the basis of sequence
differences for the POMC gene showed significant genetic difference data from phylogenetic analysis and
revealed a very large genetic difference between species for the POMC gene sequences. It was also confirmed
that the POMC gene is an effective unit for studying relationships in Limnonectes species.
Key words: Genetic diversity, Limnonectes, phylogenetic tree, , , ,
