Includes bibliographical references. Declines and losses of amphibian populations are a global problem involving a complexity of interacting causes. Regardless of the fact that amphibians in Africa are among those predicted to be hit the hardest by anthropogenic global change, many species remain poorly studied. Capensibufo rosei, Rose's Mountain Toad, is a restricted range species that survives in a few small, isolated montane populations in the extreme south-western Cape of South Africa. A recent study of the genus revealed that C. rosei may in fact comprise several cryptic species, with a distinctive lineage potentially being confined to the Cape Peninsula. I test the hypothesis that breeding sites on the Peninsula form a single genetic lineage, but are distinct at a population level due to limited dispersal abilities and little if any gene flow. 2015-01-11T13:28:31Z 2015-01-11T13:28:31Z 2012 Master Thesis Masters MSc http://hdl.handle.net/11427/12086 eng application/pdf Percy FitzPatrick Institute of African Ornithology Faculty of Science University of Cape Town |
