Abstract
mtDNAs of two Central European water frog species, Rana ridibunda and Rana lessonae , were examined by electrophoresis of restriction enzyme fragments. Two types of mtDNA occur in R. ridibunda . One shares with mtDNA of R. lessonae 25.8% of 132 fragments generated by 19 enzymes, corresponding to a nucleotide sequence divergence of 8.1%; the other has diverged from R. lessonae mtDNA by only 0.3%. This latter type is a variant R. lessonae mtDNA that has been transferred into R. ridibunda ; the introgression may have occurred via the hybridogenetic hybrid lineages collectively known as Rana esculenta . Of 37 R. ridibunda from Poland, 59% had the typical R. ridibunda mtDNA; 41% had the modified R. lessonae mtDNA as did a single individual from Switzerland. A single R. ridibunda from Turkey, outside the present range of R. lessonae , had the typical R. ridibunda mtDNA phenotype.
