Selection of geographical populations suitable for artificial breeding of the Northeast China Brown Frog (Rana dybowskii).

Amphibians, as a group greatly disturbed by human activities, are at increased risk of extinction. Rana dybowskii is an anuran species with both ecological and economic significance. Due to environmental changes and human overexploitation, it has been classified as Near-Threatened.

Sequencing and analysis of the complete mitochondrial genome of (Anura: Ranidae).

In this study, the complete mitogenome sequence of (Anura: Ranidae) is first determined using long PCR. It is a circular molecule of 17,733 bp in length (GenBank accession no. KU641020).
