title: Interstitial hybridization sites of the (TTAGGG)n telomeric sequence on the chromosomes of some North American hylid frogs.
abstract: Interstitial hybridization sites for the (TTAGGG)n telomeric repeat sequence were present in all seven species of hylid frogs examined and in a triploid hybrid between two of the species. Intra- and interspecific differences and similarities in hybridization sites agreed with what is known about the systematics of these species. Chromosome fusions, fissions, and inversions do not appear to have played a role in the evolution of the interstitial sites for the telomeric repeat in the species examined.
