Phylogeographic patterns of highland and lowland plant species in Japan
As a result of ecological and historical factors, plant species occurring in mountainous regions often exhibit complex phylogeographical structure. The aim of this review is to identify the main phylogeographi...

Landscape genetic structure of Betula maximowicziana in the Chichibu mountain range, central Japan
We evaluated the genetic structure of 16 Betula maximowicziana populations in the Chichibu mountain range, central Japan, located within a 25-km radius; all but two populations were at altitudes of 1,100–1,400 m....

Steep slopes promote downhill dispersal of Quercus crispula seeds and weaken the fine-scale genetic structure of seedling populations
The seed dispersal patterns and genetic structure of plant populations in mountainous forests may differ from those on flat sites, because some seeds that fall from adults are likely to roll downhill, and thus...
