Genetic Variations in Two Edible Frog Species (Crowned Bullfrog (Hoplobatrachus occipitalis) and African Clawed Frog (Xenopus muelleri)) in Ibadan, Nigeria Using Allozyme Markers

Attempts to determine interspecific differences in patterns of protein variation in edible frog species have been relatively few. Therefore, this study determined the genetic variation in populations of Hoplobatrachus occipitalis and Xenopus muelleri in two locations [University of Ibadan (UI) and I...
