The frog genus Hylarana (family Ranidae) is ideal for exploring the relationship between
diversification and geography across sub-Saharan Africa because of its wide distribution
that spans many potential biogeographic barriers. Using multiple loci from the
mitochondrial and nuclear genomes, we characterize the principal lineages and their
geographic extents as well as estimate phylogenetic relationships of Hylarana across
Africa. Our data supports that widespread Hylarana species likely represent several
cryptic undescribed species. Recognition of additional species of African Hylarana will
contribute to refining regions of endemism in Central Africa and identify barriers to gene
flow across the continent.
I certify that the Abstract is a correct representation of the content of this thesis.

1. Introduction
Due to political instability, lack of sound infrastructure and its large size, subSaharan Africa has seen few molecular phylogenetic or phylogeographic studies at the
continental scale. Over the past decade, however, increased sampling and strong global
collaborations have resulted in a significant increase in large-scale African phylogenetic
and biogeographic studies across an array of taxa, including amphibians (Blackburn 2008;
Zimkus et al. 2010), reptiles (Leach et al. 2009; Stanley et al. 2011; Shirley et al. 2014),
mammals (Lorenzen 2012), birds (Voelker et al. 2010; Fuchs et al. 2011) and invertebrates
(Dijstake 2007). These large-scale studies continue to shape our understanding of what
processes drive and maintain species diversity across sub-Saharan Africa and invariably
these studies reveal previously unknown cryptic diversity. Because extensive taxon
sampling is important to accurate phylogenetic estimation (Zwickl and Hillis 2002; Heath
et al. 2008), accounting for cryptic species is important for achieving a fuller understanding
of evolutionary processes and also key for designing effective, long-lasting conservation
efforts in Africa (Smith and Wayne 1996).
Two central hypothesis have been proposed since the 19th century to explain
heightened faunal diversity in the tropics: the Riverine Barrier Hypothesis (Wallace 1876)
and the Pleistocene Forest Refuge Hypothesis (Haffer 1969). Both models rely on
allopatric speciation to explain tropical diversity. Biogeographic barriers like rivers have
long been recognized as a major driver of speciation (Wallace 1876; Avise 2000). These
barriers are physical features of the landscape that impede gene flow between populations
2
(Avise 2000; Milner et al. 2012). Some barriers are absolute but most are permeable to
varying degrees. For example, amphibians were long thought to be largely intolerant of salt
water (Darwin 1859) but several recent molecular studies have demonstrated that overseas
dispersal is an important factor for explaining present day amphibian distributions around
the globe (Vences 2003; Blackburn et al. 2010; Pyron 2014). The permeability of a barrier
depends on dispersal capabilities, physiological restraints, and natural history traits of the
species involved. Recent studies using molecular approaches to investigate animal
diversity in Africa have found that cryptic species are often be separated from sister taxa
across biogeographic barriers such as rivers (Voelker et al. 2013).
Often when biogeographic barriers are not obvious boundaries, or when cryptic
species are found in sympatry, the Pleistocene Forest Refuge theory is invoked (Haffer
1969). This theory proposes that repeated forest contraction events since the Pleistocene
have been a major isolating force driving allopatric speciation across tropical regions,
including Central Africa, and that subsequent forest expansion events have brought closely
related species into sympatry (Haffer 1969; Anthony 2007). It is most likely that both
refugia and geographic barriers have together influenced species diversity and population
structure in the Afrotropics. Detailed study of widespread, tropical species with low
dispersal capabilities is especially attractive for understanding patterns of speciation in
Africa.
Amphibians are ideal candidates for studying biogeography because they are
species-rich (Pyron and Wiens 2011), occupy a high diversity of habitats (Duellman and
Trueb), and are poor dispersers (Wells 2007). Within Africa, some species of the frog genus
Hylarana have nearly pan-African distributions spanning numerous types of biogeographic
3
barriers. For this reason, we sought to investigate the intrageneric relationships of all
members of African Hylarana across their respective distributions.
The genus Hylarana Tschudi, 1838 is a member of the family Ranidae and part of
the larger radiation called the Natatanura (Chen et al. 2005; Bossuyt et al. 2006; Frost et
al. 2006; Blackburn and Wake 2011; Pyron and Wiens 2011). Ranidae is one of few
globally distributed frog families and comprises more than 350 species (Frost 2014) that
exhibit a wide range morphological and ecological diversity. This group has undergone
significant taxonomic revisions over the past three decades (Dubois 1987, 1992, 2005;
Inger 1996; Roelants et al. 2004; Chen et al. 2005; Bossuyt et al. 2006; Frost et al. 2006;
Pyron and Wiens 2011). The genus Hylarana is unique among the members of Ranidae
because its distribution spans two continents, covering much of sub-Saharan Africa and
southern Asia. This distribution is supported by numerous molecular studies including
Asian and African Hylarana species that recover the genus as monophyletic with respect
to other ranid genera (Kosuch et al. 2001; Bossuyt et al. 2006; Frost et al. 2006; Pyron and
Wiens 2011). This extensive distribution makes Hylarana ideal for investigating
biogeographic patterns both within and between Africa and Asia.
For this study, we concentrated on the poorly studied species of Hylarana restricted
to sub-Saharan Africa, which includes 11 currently recognized species. Our goals for this
project are (1) to identify undescribed cryptic diversity of African Hylarana and identify
potential drivers of this diveristy, (2) to identify barriers to gene flow across the continent,
and (3) to estimate divergence times among African species as well as between Africa and
Asia.

amplified using a nested PCR protocol as outlined in Shen et al. (2013) (for additional
details, see Table 1). Amplified PCR products were purified using ExoSAP-IT
(Affymetrixs) and then sequenced in both directions by direct double-strand cyclesequencing using BigDye v3.1 chemistry. The amplifying primers for 16S were used in the
cycle sequencing reactions for the mitochondrial gene. Universal forward and reverse
sequencing
primers
(5-AGGGTTTTCCCAGTCACGAC-3
and
5-
AGATAACAATTTCACACAGG-3) were used for all four nuclear genes following Shen
et al. (2013). Cycle sequencing products were precipitated with ethanol, 125 mM EDTA,
pH 8.0 and sequenced on a Applied Biosystems 3130 Genetic Analyzer at the CCG.
Sequences will be deposited in GenBank at the time of publication (Appendix 1).

of 70 specimens for which we sampled mitochondrial and nuclear loci. Our final
concatenated alignment had little missing data (96% complete) and no samples were
missing more than one locus. Partitioned ML analyses were conducted in Garli v2.0 on
the concatenated alignment, and using the best-fit model for each partition.
Partitioned Bayesian phylogenetic estimates were obtained using MrBayes v3.2.2
(Huelsenbeck and Ronquist 2001) for our complete 5-locus concatenated alignment for 70
taxa, using the same partitioning strategy and corresponding substitution models as our ML
analyses. Sampling every 1000 generations, we ran four independent Markov Chain Monte
Carlo (MCMC) for 20 million generations. The first 25% of the sampled trees were
discarded as burn-in. The convergence of runs was assessed by the effective sample size
(ESS) values of parameters, likelihood scores through time plots using TRACER v1.6
(Rambaut and Drummond 2009).

4. Discussion

one species occurs in West Africa and is sister to H. fonensis, while the other nominotypical
H. albolabris is found in Central Africa and is sister to H. asperrima (Fig. 3). Our species
delimitation analyses suggests that a number of lineages referred to H. albolabris in Central
Africa should be considered a single species. Based on morphological characters
distinguishing it from H. albolabris, Perret (1960) described H. longipes as a new species
of Hylarana from high elevation sites (>1000 m asl) on the Bamilk and Adamawa
Plateaus in Cameroon. Our phylogenetic analyses include a topotypic sample of H.
longipes that agrees with Perrets (1960) description, including larger size and
proportionately longer feet relative to H. albolabris. However, this sample is nested within
the diversity of lineages comprising the Central African species H. albolabris and we
therefore recommend that H. longipes be considered a junior synonym of H. albolabris.
Our analyses suggest that the widespread species H. galamensis is composed of
three distinct species. The West African lineage is distributed from Senegal east across the
Dahomey Gap to eastern Nigeria; the Central/East African lineage occurs across eastern
DRC and Uganda; and the third lineage is restricted to the Kenyan and Tanzanian coast.
Despite the strong support for each of these lineages as distinct species, we note that there
is a major sampling gap (~2200 km) between our West African and eastern DRC samples
where H. galamensis is known to occur. Therefore, it is difficult to say whether the support
for this lineage derives principally from isolation-by-distance or because of this sampling
gap. The East African coastal lineage, however, that is supported as a distinct species here,
was originally described as Limnodytes bravanus Peters 1882 and later recognized as a
subspecies of H. galamensis by Loveridge (1936). Based on the morphological and
20
genealogical distinctiveness of this lineage, we recommend that Hylarana galamensis
bravana be elevated to H. bravana.
Interestingly, a number of cryptic lineages exist in sympatry with their sister taxa,
including H. cf. albolabris with H. fonensis in West Africa and cryptic and nominotypical
lineages of both H. amnicola and H. lepus in Central Africa (Figs. 2,3). The Pleistocene
Forest Refuge Hypothesis (Haffer 1969) has been proposed as an explanation of elevated
species diversification in tropics during the past 2.5 million years that is driven by cyclical
expansion and retraction of forests. As forests contract, populations of plants and animals
are isolated leading to allopatric speciation. Subsequently, as forests again expand
divergent populations and species that share a recent common ancestor are brought into
secondary contact. In Central and West Africa, this pattern has been detected in birds (Mayr
and O'Hara 1987; Voelker et al. 2010), gorillas (Anthony et al. 2007), and rodents (Nicolas
et al. 2011) and may also explain the pattern observed here of sympatric close relatives of
Hylarana.
21
asperrima and H. amnicola), whereas H. galamensis, a savannah specialist, shows little
differentiation across the Dahomey Gap. The Dahomey Gap is an important barrier for
many forest-dwelling amphibian species and appears to be a major driver of the Upper
Guinean forests biological distinctiveness from the Guineo-Congolian forest (Schitz
1967; Poynton 1999; Penner et al. 2011).
Central Africas Guineo-Congolian forests host the greatest Hylarana species
diversity within Africa and most of this diversity is concentrated within the albolabris
subclade. Several species exhibit substantial population structure, which is largely driven
by barriers such as the Congo and Ogoou Rivers and the salt-water strait between Bioko
Island and mainland Cameroon (H. albolabris, H. amnicola and H. lepus). All of the intraand interspecific diversity observed in this clade arose during the Pleistocene (2.5 million
10,000 years ago). This pattern is similar to that found in other species in the region
including primates (Anthony et al. 2007; Telfer et al. 2003), birds (Voelker et al. 2013),
and rodents (Kennis et al. 2011), and serves to highlight the important role that rivers play
as a driver of allopatric speciation in Central Africa. Hylarana albolabris on Bioko Island
is genetically most similar to mainland Cameroon, which supports similar findings for
other species (ex. Arthroleptis: Blackburn 2010) that Bioko is an extension of the mainland
Cameroon fauna.
Central Africa has long been considered an evolutionary museum suggesting that
the regions fauna is dominated by old lineages (Mayr and OHara 1986; Kingdon 1990).
However, our results support other recent studies (e.g., Anthony et al. 2007; Nicolas et al.
2011; Telfer et al. 2003; Voelker et al. 2010, 2013) that demonstrate the Guineo-Congolian
forests as an active evolutionary region where lineages have diversified at both the
22
population and species-level since the Plio-Pleistocene. The combination of stable forest
refugia maintaining old lineages (Mayr and O'Hara 1986) with both oscillating forest cover
and riverine barriers driving evolution of new lineages leads the Guinea-Congolian to be
an important center of diversification and endemicity within Africa.
23
Given our proposed entry point of Hylarana into Africa under this scenario, it is
surprising that the earliest diverging lineage within African Hylarana (H. occidentalis) is
restricted to the Upper Guinean forests of West Africa, nearly 5000 km west of the Arabian
Peninsula. This suggests that extinction events of populations in the intervening region
followed subsequent to the arrival of Hylarana in Africa and is supported by our S-DIVA
analyses. Interestingly, West Africas Upper Guinean forest is well appreciated as an
important region of endemism including for old lineages of amphibian taxa including
Pseudhymenochirus (Evans et al. 2004), Nimbaphrynoides (Sandberger et al., 2010),
Morerella (Rdel et al. 2009) and Odontobatrachidae (Barej et al. 2014) as well as for an
ancient mammal lineage, the tenrecoid Micropotamogale (Poux et al. 2008). The overall
pattern of having only old and young Hylarana lineages in West Africa is similar to other
sub-Saharan frogs including pipids (Evans et al. 2004) and arthroleptid frogs (Blackburn
2008).
