      The brown frog Rana graeca was believed to be present in two areas, the Balkan Peninsula and the Italian Apennines. We have characterised the S1 satellite DNA family from Rana graeca graeca and compared it with that of Rana graeca italica. On Southern blots, the patterns of S1 satellite DNA bands are very different between Italian and Greek specimens, but homogeneous among various populations of the same taxon. The satellite DNA from the Greek taxon contains two repetitive units (S1a (494 bp) and S1b (363 bp)) that could be sequenced after amplification from genomic DNA to directly yield their consensus sequences in each genome. These consensus sequences were very similar among the Greek populations, but differed either in sequence (in S1a) or in both size and sequence (in S1b) from the corresponding repeats of the Italian taxon. A mechanism of concerted evolution is likely responsible for the high homogeneity of S1a and S1b repeat sequences within each genome and species. The genomic content of S1 satellite DNA was lower in the Greek than in the Italian populations (0.5 vs. 1.9%) and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis showed the S1 satellite on only 4 chromosome pairs in the Greek taxon and on all 13 chromosome pairs in the Italian taxon. The completely different structure and genomic organization of the S1 satellite DNA indicate that the Greek and Italian taxa are distinct species: R. graeca and R. italica.
