[Display omitted] •Two deep genetic lineages detected in the Malagasy frog, Mantidactylus ambreensis.•Co-occurrence without admixture confirms separate species status of these lineages.•The lineages are segregated by elevation.•Phylogeography suggests this co-occurrence originated by secondary conta...
