Phylogenomics reveals rapid, simultaneous diversification of three major clades of Gondwanan frogs at the Cretaceous–Paleogene boundary
Frogs (Anura) are one of the most diverse groups of vertebrates and comprise nearly 90% of
living amphibian species. Their worldwide distribution and diverse biology make them well …
