India is eminently suited for testing biogeographic hypothesis. The endemic amphibian fauna is rich and has likely evolved through complex interactions between geological and paleoclimatic events. Dispersal and vicariance have strongly influenced the formation of biogeographic patterns. Our current work includes morphological and molecular analyses of known/ new taxa and their closest relatives. The results could indicate geographical relations. This can be used to test hypothesis on historical biogeography.
