Trade and collection of edible frogs are banned in India. We used mitochondrial (16 and 12S DNA) and nuclear gene (Rag-1 and Rhodopsin) sequences to examine the population genetic and demographic structure of an edible frog species,  Phrynoderma karaavali  (Karaavali Skittering frog) from Kerala as...
