Genetic differentiation of the two sibling species,Cottus nozawae andC. amblystomopsis, from the northern part of Japan (Hokkaido Island and the Tohoku District) was investigated using allozyme variations and
restriction fragment length polymorphisms of mitochondrial DNA. Although the two species are morphologically very similar,
previously being thought to be a single species, they have different life-cycles;C. nozawae has a fluvial life-cycle with a small number of large-sized eggs, whereasC. amblystomopsis is an amphidromous species with a large number of small-sized eggs. Four populations ofC. amblystomopsis from Hokkaido Island and 24 populations ofC. nozawae (22 from Hokkaido Island and 2 from the Tohoku District) were sampled and examined Intrapopulational differentiation in the
two species was measured by examining several indexes, including proportion of polymorphic loci (P), mean heterozygosity (H)
and nucleotide diversity (π). All measurements were higher in theC. amblystomopsis populations, suggesting that intrapopulational variation inC. nozawae was less than inC. amblystomopsis and reflecting the difference in effective population sizes between them. Cluster analyses were performed using the UPGMA
method, based on the data matrices of genetic distance (D) and the net nucleotide difference (δ) between populations. TheC. nozawae andC. amblystomopsis populations from Hokkaido Island composed a large cluster (Hokkaido group), while theC. nozawae populations from the Tohoku District composed a different cluster (Tohoku group). Bootstrap probabilities deduced from 1000
bootstrap replications for presence or absence of restriction sites showed that the mtDNA haplotypes detected within the Tohoku
Group occurred in 99.9% of the bootstrap replicates outside the mtDNA haplotypes of the Hokkaido group, while those within
the Hokkaido group occurred in 3.5–64.9% of bootstrap replicates. Consequently, the Hokkaido populations of the two species
(Hokkaido group) were genetically close to each other, whileC. nozawae from the Tohoku District (Tohoku group) were distant from the Hokkaido group. These results suggest that the ancestral populations
of the two species on Hokkaido Island shared the same gene pool, even after becoming geographically isolated from the ancestral
population ofC. nozawae in the Tohoku District by the formation of the Tsugaru Straits. 相似文献

Aim The aim of this study is to detect extant patterns of population genetic structure of Fraxinus mandshurica var. japonica in Japan, and to provide insights into the post‐glacial history of this species during the Holocene. Location Hokkaido and Honshu islands, Japan (including the Oshima and Shimokita peninsulas). Methods We examined nine polymorphic nuclear microsatellite loci to assess genetic variation within and among 15 populations across almost the entire range of the species in Japan. Extant patterns of geographical structure were analysed using Bayesian clustering, Monmonier’s algorithm, analysis of molecular variance, Mantel tests and principal coordinates analysis. Recent bottlenecks within populations and regional genetic variation were also assessed. Results Northern populations (Hokkaido Island and the Shimokita Peninsula) formed a single homogeneous deme, maintaining the highest level of allelic diversity on the Oshima Peninsula. By contrast, southern populations (Honshu Island) demonstrated strong substructure on both coasts. Specifically, populations on the Pacific side of Honshu exhibited significant bottlenecks and erosion of allelic diversity but preserved distinct subclusters diverging from widespread subclusters on the Japan Sea side of this island. Main conclusions Genetic evidence and life history traits suggest that F. mandshurica occupied cryptic northern refugia on the Oshima Peninsula during the Last Glacial Maximum, which is reflected in the species’ extant northern distribution. Strong geographical structure in southern populations, in agreement with fossil pollen records, suggests geographical isolation by mountain ranges running north–south along Honshu. Given that this tree species is cold‐adapted and found in riparian habitats, populations on the Pacific side of Honshu probably contracted into higher‐elevation swamps during warm post‐glacial periods, leading to a reduction of effective population sizes and rare allelic richness. 相似文献

We investigated initial establishment and regeneration of an outlying isolated Fagus crenata forest stand at the northernmost boundary of its range in Hokkaido, northern Japan. The study site was located in the Sannosuke
beech forest (42°46′48″N, 140°23′43″E), a representative outlying beech stand beyond its continuous range. A rectangular 0.75 ha
plot was established on a southwest-facing slope and divided into 300 square sub-plots of 25 m2. Within each sub-plot, stems over 5 cm in diameter at breast height (DBH) were identified and measured. Furthermore, the
location of stems over 10 cm in DBH (canopy stem) was recorded within each sub-plot, and their increment core samples were
extracted. Wood from fallen logs was sampled to estimate the species composition of the coarse woody debris. Micro-relief
of the plot was investigated by leveling with compasses for a 2.5 m × 2.5 m grid system. In the plot, the population of F. crenata was divided into three sub-populations by their frequency distribution of age. The oldest sub-population, over 121 years
old, had been established in small-localized gap in the plot. The sub-population between 81 and 120 years old and the sub-population
less than 80 years old were regenerated after a landslide and windthrow in a 1954 typhoon, respectively. Furthermore, dominant
species in the plot shifted from Quercus
mongolica var. grosseserrata to F. crenata. Consequently, regeneration of F. crenata, i.e., expansion of forest stands, at the northernmost boundary of its range was primarily dependent on episodic natural
disturbance, which may be responsible for the reduction of their migration rate in Hokkaido, northern Japan. 相似文献

The fluvial sculpin, Cottus
nozawae, is a coldwater-adapted fish distributed in Hokkaido Island and the northeastern part of Honshu Island (Tohoku District),
Japan. Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) control region sequencing was used to investigate the geographic distribution of genetic
variation and phylogeography of C. nozawae. Most populations possessed unique haplotypes, few being shared across river systems. Phylogenetic analysis of the sequences
of the mtDNA control region and adjacent regions of C. nozawae revealed three distinct phylogenetic groups that differed by 3.05% to 3.11%, corresponding to distinct geographic regions,
Hokkaido Island, northern Tohoku District, and Yamagata Prefecture (southwestern Tohoku District), respectively. The divergence
times of three groups were estimated to be about 1.5 million years ago by applying a general rate for mtDNA, suggesting that
the divergence among them might have occurred in the early Pleistocene. Divergence among the haplotypes within the group from
the northern Tohoku District was also high (1.84%), no haplotypes being shared by local populations in different river systems
in this region. Local populations from a single river system in this region comprise a distinct lineage that differed from
other river systems. Such genetically divergent population structures among the different regions and river systems are considered
to have resulted mainly from long-term isolation and restricted gene flow among river systems, probably promoted by the fluvial
benthic life history and low dispersal ability of this species.

A taxonomic review of the cottid genus Cottiusculus Jordan and Starks 1904 established three species, C. nihonkaiensis sp. nov., C. schmidti, and C. gonez. Cottiusculus nihonkaiensis sp. nov., which had been previously confused with C. schmidti, is described on the basis of 32 specimens (44.8–77.9 mm, SL) collected from the Sea of Japan. The new species is very similar
to C. schmidti in having a curved barbless uppermost preopercular spine and the lateral line extending past the caudal fin base, but is
distinguishable as follows: nasal spines simple or sometimes weakly bicuspid (vs. deeply bicuspid in C. schmidti); first dorsal fin not elongated in either males or females (vs. elongated in males); ventral lateral and lateral line cirri
present (vs. absent). The former is known from the Sea of Japan coasts of Hokkaido, Honshu, Kyushu and the Korean Peninsula,
and Volcano Bay, Hokkaido, and the latter from the Pacific coast of Tohoku District, Japan. Cottiusculus gonez, known from the Sea of Japan, Sea of Okhotsk and Pacific coast of Hokkaido, is characterized by having a simple nasal spine,
the uppermost preopercular spine almost straight with two small cusps dorsally, posterior cusp barbed, and the lateral line
almost reaching to the caudal fin base. A lectotype of C. gonez is designated here. Sequence differences in the cytochrome b gene among the above three species of Cottiusculus are also presented. 相似文献

Triploid Fritillaria camschatcensis (L.) Ker-Gawler (2n = 3x = 36) is a wild species growing in the low-lying areas of Hokkaido Island, Japan, including the Sapporo campus of Hokkaido
University. Many F. camschatcensis plants grew on the campus about a century ago, but we seldom find the plants nowadays and so a project to restore this species
is being planned. Because preservation of genetic diversity and composition in populations has become a major target of conservation,
this study compared variation in the F. camschatcensis population on the Sapporo campus with that in two other populations in Hokkaido. Phenetic variation assessed by 57 randomly
amplified polymorphic DNA markers showed that the three populations were significantly distinct from each other; analysis
of molecular variance showed 64.3% of variation (P < 0.001) existed among the three populations. Comparison of phenetic diversity on the Sapporo campus population with that
in the two other populations showed that the Sapporo campus population contained large genetic variation despite reduced plant
numbers. These results indicate that multiplying F. camschatcensis individuals on the Sapporo campus is adequate to restore the Sapporo campus population because this population contains enough
genetic diversity, and that transplanting from other populations should be avoided so as not to introduce different genotypes
into the campus. These results will be used to design the restoration strategy. 相似文献

In a temperate riparian forest, the effects of substrate types, canopy gaps and conspecific seedfall density were investigated
on the seed-to-seedling process for the five dominant species (Aesculus turbinata, Fagus crenata, Acer mono, Pterocarya rhoifolia and Cercidiphyllum japonicum). Densities of seedfall and subsequent seedling recruits were measured in the stand over a period of 6 years. A model assuming
that local density of seedling recruits is proportional to seedfall density in the preceding year significantly explained
a spatial variation in seedling recruits for all species. Several environmental factors were then added. Substrate composition
had a positive effect on P. rhoifolia and C. japonicum. P. rhoifolia was favored by gravel substrate, which also explained the adult distribution of this species in this forest. C. japonicum appeared to be facilitated by a mineral-soil substrate. However, the distributions of this substrate and adults of C. japonicum did not follow each other closely. A. mono was negatively affected by gaps, and F. crenata was negatively affected by conspecific seedfall density. In contrast, A. turbinata was not significantly affected by any of the environmental factors tested. The microenvironmental heterogeneity in this forest
explained species coexistence to a limited extent in the context of seed-to-seedling processes. Performances at later stages
of the life-cycle and/or catastrophic disturbances (e.g. landslides) might have a stronger influence on species coexistence
in this forest. 相似文献

Question: How much is the probability distribution of Fagus crenata forests predicted to change under a climate change scenario by the 2090s, and what are the potential impacts on these forests? What are the main factors inducing such changes? Location: The major islands of Japan. Methods: A predictive distribution model was developed with four climatic factors (summer precipitation, PRS; winter precipitation, PRW; minimum temperature of the coldest month, TMC; and warmth index, WI) and five non‐climatic factors (topography, surface geology, soil, slope aspect and inclination). A climate change scenario was applied to the model. Results: Areas with high probability (> 0.5) were predicted to decrease by 91%, retreating from the southwest, shrinking in central regions, and expanding northeastwards beyond their current northern limits. A vulnerability index (the reciprocal of the predicted probability) suggests that Kyushu, Shikoku, the Pacific Ocean side of Honshu and southwest Hokkaido will have high numbers of many vulnerable F. crenata forests. The forests with high negative sensitivity indices (the difference between simulated probabilities of occurrence under current and predicted climates) mainly occur in southwest Hokkaido and the Sea of Japan side of northern Honshu. Conclusion: F. crenata forest distributions may retreat from some islands due to a high WI. The predicted northeastward shift in northern Hokkaido is associated with increased TMC and PRS. High vulnerability and negative sensitivity of the forests in southern Hokkaido are due to increased WI. 相似文献

Ardisia crenata, an evergreen shrub native to East Asia, has been a serious invasive plant to the southeastern USA. Here 13 polymorphic microsatellite
loci were isolated and characterized from an enrichment genomic library of A. crenata. The average allele number of these microsatellites was four per locus, ranging from two to seven. The ranges of observed
and expected heterozygosity were 0.000–1.000 and 0.239–0.789, respectively. These microsatellite markers will be useful for
investigating population genetics and reproductive ecology of A. crenata. 相似文献
