Habitat disturbance may form subpopulation genetic structure in an invasive rodent species (Myocastor coypus) within a Japanese river system
Alien species management can be improved by understanding the population genetic structure of alien species that affect native ecosystems. In this study, we analyzed the spatial genetic structure of nutria (Myoca...

Assessment of genoty** accuracy in a non-invasive DNA-based population survey of Asiatic black bears (Ursus thibetanus): lessons from a large-scale pilot study in Iwate prefecture, northern Japan
Non-invasive DNA genoty** using hair samples has become a common method in population surveys of Asiatic black bears (Ursus thibetanus) in Japan; however, the accuracy of the genoty** data has rarely been dis...

Species diversity and community structure of pelagic copepods in the marine lakes of Palau
Community structure and diversity patterns of pelagic copepods were investigated for the coastal areas and in the marine lakes of the Palau islands in the West Pacific. We conducted field surveys during 2004–2...

Evolutionary Significance of Admixture and Fragmentation of Sika Deer Populations in Japan
The sika deer is genetically very close to the red deer (Cervus elaphus): nucleotide divergences between the two species are less than 1% in most of the protein-coding sequences. Genetic markers that were develop...

Use of microsatellite markers to assess the spatial genetic structure of a population of sika deerCervus nippon on Kinkazan Island, Japan
To understand the relationship between social behaviour and gene distribution, we used microsatellite markers to resolve the spatial genetic structure of the sika deerCervus nippon Temminck, 1838 population on Ki...

Nucleotide sequences of putative cDNAs for guinea-pig monoamine oxidase
To study the molecular structure of guinea pig monoamine oxidase (MAO) and its phylogenetic relationship with other mammalian MAOs, we determined nucleotide sequences of putative MAO cDNAs isolated from guinea...

Phylogenetic relationships among deer in China derived from mitochondrial DNA cytochromeb sequences
The phylogenetic relationships of Cervidae and Moschidae were examined using partial sequence data of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) cytochromeb. Ten new sequences were obtained for six species of Cervidae and Moschid...

Molecular phylogenetic relationships among Sichuan snub-nosed monkeys (Rhinopithecus roxellanae) inferred from mitochondrial cytochrome-b gene sequences
The Sichuan snub-nosed monkey (Rhinopithecus roxellanae) is a species endemic to China, and its distribution is the widest among all snub-nosed monkeys in China. To clarify whether there is subspecific differenti...

Overproduction and translational regulation of rp49 ribosomal protein mRNA in transgenic Drosophila carrying extra copies of the gene
During Drosophila early development the translation of ribosomal protein mRNAs is regulated specifically and coordinately. In this study we assayed for changes of ribosomal protein rp49 gene expression in flies t...
