Abstract

âº Uncovering cryptic biodiversity of threatened European amphibians (Hyla arborea group). âº Divergence times, diversity, distributions for three recently recognized tree frog lineages. âº Range borders, secondary contact zones, signatures of a postglacial range expansion. âº Data support conservation by fine-tuning measures to lineage-specific Quaternary refugia. âº Suture zones as natural arenas to generate biodiversity and study speciation.
