A morphometric analysis of Hylarana signata group (previously known as Rana signata and Rana picturata) of Malaysia

A study on morphometrical variations of Malaysian Hylarana signata group was conducted to reveal the morphological relationships within the species group. Twenty-seven morphological characters from 18 individuals of H. signata and H. picturata were measured and recorded. The numerical data were anal...
