Abstract:

Two subspecies of reedfrogs Hyperolius marmoratus broadleyi (eastern Zimbabwe) and Hyperolius marmoratus verrucosus (Tsitsikama area - Knysna) were analyzed for variation in nuclear ribosomal DNA by mapping restriction endonuclease sites. Ribosomal DNA analysis showed that H. m. broadleyi and H. m. verrucosus differ substantially at certain restriction sites in their nuclear ribosomal DNA and the genetic data suggests specific status for these taxa.
