Abstract: Gekko yakuensis and G. tawaensis, both endemic to western Japan, are threatened by genetic introgression from G. hokouensis and G. japonicus, respectively. To know detailed situation of their hybridizations for planning relevant conservation measures, development of sensitive genetic markers is desired. We here developed microsatellite markers based on the sequences obtained from G. hokouensis using 454 GS Junior sequencer, and tested stability of PCR amplification and species-specificity of alleles at each locus using G. hokouensis, G. yakuensis, G. japonicus, and G. tawaensis. The results showed that 22 loci were almost constantly amplified in more than one species. We further confirmed that there were fixed or nearly fixed allelic displacement between G. hokouensis and G. yakuensis, and between G. japonicus and G. tawaensis at 14 loci. Thus, these 22 loci are considered to be useful for evaluation of hybridizations between these pairs of species.
摘要/ Abstract摘要:日本西部特有的雅库壁虎(Gekko yakuensis)和塔瓦壁虎(g.a tawaensis)分别受到来自hokouensis和japonicus遗传渗入的威胁。为了详细了解其杂交情况,以便制定相应的保护措施,需要开发敏感的遗传标记。本研究利用454 GS Junior测序仪构建了微卫星标记,并对各位点等位基因的扩增稳定性和物种特异性进行了检测。结果表明,22个基因座在一个以上的物种中几乎持续扩增。进一步证实,在14个位点上,北口稻稻与雅库稻稻、日本稻稻与台湾稻稻之间存在固定或接近固定的等位基因位移。因此,这22个位点被认为是有用的评估这些物种对之间的杂交。

Skeletal Remains of Mauremys reevesii (Testudines: Geoemydidae) from a Late Medieval Archeological Site in Fukuyama City, Hiroshima Prefecture, Western Japan 日本西部广岛县福山市一处中世纪晚期考古遗址的reevesii Mauremys(Testudines:Geoemydidae)骨骼遗骸

Partial skeletal remains of Mauremys reevesii, consisting of the right second and third costals of an individual, were discovered from late medieval deposit of an archaeological site in Hiroshima Prefecture, Japan. Because the site was a local port town with relatively frequent commercial exchanges then, the turtle may have possibly been brought there through direct or indirect foreign trade in the 15th Century. Current Japanese populations of M. reevesii have generally been considered as descendants of artificially transported individuals from outside Japan in no earlier than the late Edo period (late 18th Century). However, the present finding suggests that the species was actually introduced to Japan in the late medieval period or even earlier.
Mauremys reevesii的部分骨骼遗骸是在日本广岛县一处考古遗址的中世纪晚期沉积物中发现的,由一个人的右第二肋和第三肋组成。由于该遗址当时是当地的港口城市,商业往来相对频繁,海龟可能是在15世纪通过直接或间接的对外贸易被带到那里的。目前,日本的瑞维西M.reevesii种群通常被认为是不早于江户时代晚期(18世纪末)从日本境外人工迁移的个体的后代。然而,目前的发现表明,该物种实际上是在中世纪晚期甚至更早的时候被引入日本的。

A New Species of Pelophryne from Malay Peninsula (Anura, Bufonidae) 马来半岛一新种(无尾目,蟾科)

A small, semi-arboreal toad of the genus Pelophryne from Peninsular Malaysia has been treated as P. brevipes or P. signata. The peninsular toad and Bornean P. signata are very similar to each other morphologically, although slightly different in relative forelimb length, dorsal coloration, and tuberculation. However, in partial mtDNA sequence, the peninsular toad is substantially distinct from P. signata from Borneo and P. brevipes from the Philippines, although it is close to a congener from Sumatra. Thus, the peninsular toad is described as a new species based on specimens from Genting Highlands, state of Pahang, central Peninsular Malaysia. Of the two morphotypes recognized in the genus, the new species belongs to the one with the tips of the fingers expanded into truncate discs, in which the new species is the smallest in body size. The new species also occurs in Singapore and possibly in Sumatra.
来自马来西亚半岛的一种小的半树栖蟾蜍属,被认为是短蟾蜍或信号蟾蜍。半岛蟾蜍和婆罗洲P. signata在形态上非常相似,尽管在相对前肢长度、背部颜色和结节上略有不同。然而,在部分mtDNA序列中,半岛蟾蜍与婆罗洲的P. signata和菲律宾的P. brevipes有本质上的区别,尽管它与苏门答腊的同系物接近。因此,根据马来西亚半岛中部彭亨州云顶高地的标本,半岛蟾蜍被描述为一个新物种。在该属已知的两种形态中,新种属于指尖扩展成截形盘的一种,在这种形态中,新种是体型最小的。新物种也出现在新加坡,也可能出现在苏门答腊。

We isolated and characterized 11 microsatellite markers for Ovophis okinavensis, a viperid species endemic to the Ryukyu Archipelago. These markers showed polymorphism among 25 individuals from Okinawajima Island. The number of alleles per locus was 3–11, and observed and expected heterozygosity were 0.240–0.960 and 0.218–0.853, respectively. Cross-amplification confirmed that at least seven out of the 11 microsatellite markers were applicable to a putative relative, Trimeresurus gracilis. The markers provided here are expected to be valuable for population- and/or individual-level genetic studies of not only O. okinavenesis, but also its relatives.
我们分离并鉴定了琉球列岛特有的蝰蛇Ovophis okinavensis的11个微卫星标记。这些标记在冲绳岛的25个个体中显示出多态性。每个基因座的等位基因数为3-11,观察到的和预期的杂合度分别为0.240-0.960和0.218-0.853。交叉扩增证实,11个微卫星标记中至少有7个适用于一个推定的亲缘关系,即纤细Trimereurus gracilis。这里提供的标记预计不仅对O.okinavensis及其亲属的群体和/或个体水平的遗传研究有价值。

We examined lines of arrested growth (LAG) in femurs from 20 individuals of the sand lizard Psammodromus algirus sampled from the north of Tunisia (North Africa). The number of the LAGs reached a maximum of three. The instant speed of linear growth in the first year was 6.6×10–2 mm/day and 3.76×10–2 mm/day the second year. The diameter of the marrow cavity was significantly larger in female (334.52 µm±115.68 µm) than in male (324.42 µm±114.2 µm). The growth rate observed in P. algirus followed the known growth pattern in lacertid lizards and the difference in the diameter of the marrow cavity between males and females may be related to a sexual dimorphism.
我们检查了从突尼斯北部(北非)采集的20只沙蜥Psammadromus褐藻的股骨中的生长停滞线(LAG)。LAG的数量最多达到三个。第一年的瞬时线性增长速度为6.6×10–2毫米/天,第二年为3.76×10–2中毫米/天。女性的骨髓腔直径(334.52µm±115.68µm)明显大于男性(324.42µm×114.2µm)。在褐藻中观察到的生长速度遵循了撕裂蜥蜴的已知生长模式,雄性和雌性骨髓腔直径的差异可能与两性异形有关。

Despite being one of the world's 25+ most endangered tortoises and freshwater turtles, the evolutionary history of the Vietnamese pond turtle (Mauremys annamensis) is largely unknown. This is due to the lack of wild, known-locality specimens for genetic studies. In this genetic study, we include four known-locality specimens of M. annamensis—two historical specimens (the lectotype and paralectotype of the junior synonym Annamemys merkleni), a living zoo specimen that was collected in 1966, and a contemporary, wild-caught specimen captured during intensive field surveys. We have three major findings regarding the genetics of M. annamensis and closely related species. First, with wild specimens from near the type locality, we identify mitochondrial and nuclear haplotypes for true M. annamensis. Second, we verify that M. guangxiensis is invalid due to its non-monophyly. Lastly, we verify that M. mutica from Anhui Province and Taiwan cluster genetically with samples from the type locality in Zhejiang Province. Despite these new data from known-locality specimens providing guidance for ex situ and in situ conservation efforts, some of the genetic patterns for M. annamensis and M. mutica defy obvious explanation and highlight the need for even more samples with reliable known provenance.
尽管越南池龟是世界上25多种最濒危的陆龟和淡水龟之一,但其进化史在很大程度上是未知的。这是由于缺乏用于基因研究的野生、已知地点的标本。在这项遗传学研究中,我们包括了四个已知的M.annamensis地方标本——两个历史标本(初级同义词Annamemys merkleni的选择型和副结构型),一个1966年采集的活动物园标本,以及一个在密集的实地调查中捕获的当代野生标本。关于M.annamensis和亲缘关系密切的物种的遗传学,我们有三个主要发现。首先,通过来自模式区附近的野生标本,我们鉴定了真正的M.annamensis的线粒体和核单倍型。其次,我们验证了广西M.guangxiensis由于其非单系性而无效。最后,我们用浙江省典型地的样本对安徽省和台湾省的多齿线虫进行了基因聚类验证。尽管这些来自已知地点标本的新数据为迁地和原位保护工作提供了指导,但M.annamensis和M.mutica的一些遗传模式无法做出明显的解释,并强调需要更多具有可靠已知来源的样本。

Population Density of a Clonal Gecko Species in Its Northernmost Range, the Ryukyus in Japan 日本琉球最北端一种克隆壁虎的种群密度

Many species of organisms are known to have expanded their distributional ranges and established highly dense populations in their nonnative areas due to human activities. Several gecko species have been introduced from tropics to seasonal subtropics with the aid of artificial transportations. However, it has not yet been well-documented as to whether invasive tropical geckos flourish in extra-tropical cooler areas outside their native range. Here, I report demographic information of the mourning gecko, Lepidodactylus lugubris, in its northernmost distribution, the Ryukyu Archipelago in Japan. I conducted a mark-recapture survey of mourning geckos inhabiting a coastal vegetation habitat and estimated their population size using the Jolly-Seber open population model. An estimated 94–284 individuals lived in a small beachfront forest. The population showed a high density (880–2,656 geckos/ha), which is comparable to that of other invasive gecko populations in tropical areas. The results imply a successful colonization of clonal geckos at their northernmost invasion front.
众所周知,由于人类活动,许多物种的生物已经扩大了它们的分布范围,并在它们的非原生地建立了高密度的种群。在人工运输的帮助下,一些壁虎物种已经从热带引入到季节性亚热带。然而,关于入侵的热带壁虎是否在其原生范围之外的热带以外的凉爽地区繁衍生息,还没有得到充分的记录。这里,我报告一种叫Lepidodactylus lugubris的壁虎的人口统计资料,它分布在最北的日本琉球群岛。我对居住在沿海植被栖息地的哀壁虎进行了一次标记-再捕获调查,并使用乔利-塞伯开放种群模型估计了它们的种群规模。估计有94-284只生活在一个小的海滨森林里。种群密度为880 ~ 2656只/ha,与热带地区其他入侵壁虎种群密度相当。结果表明克隆壁虎在其最北端的入侵前沿成功定植。

Habitats for pond-breeding salamanders are declining as a result of land development and management abandonment. In that context, a pond-breeding salamander Hynobius tokyoensis has recently been known to breed in small streams. However, little is known about the ecology of pond-breeding salamander larvae, such as food, in small streams. Here, to gain insight into foraging ecology of Hynobius tokyoensis larvae in small steams, we investigated the potential prey items in nine small streams running through secondary forests in Hachiouji City, Tokyo, Japan. In addition, we hypothesized that H. tokyoensis larvae preferentially predate active prey invertebrates over less-active prey because they are generalist, sit-and-wait predators. To test this hypothesis, we experimentally examined predation frequencies by H. tokyoensis larvae on the two major arthropod species (isopods and Plecoptera larvae) and activity (i.e., movement frequencies and distances) of the potential prey. As a result, isopods (Asellus hilgendorfii) and Plecoptera (Nemouridae larvae) are the two dominant aquatic invertebrates in small streams inhabited by H. tokyoensis, larval salamanders consumed more isopods than Plecoptera larvae and isopods are more active than Plecoptera larvae. Taken together, we concluded that isopods should be the main prey for salamander larvae inhabiting small streams due to their high abundance and conspicuous activities.
由于土地开发和管理的放弃,池塘繁殖蝾螈的栖息地正在减少。在这种情况下,一种池塘繁殖的蝾螈Hynobius tokyoensis最近被发现在小溪中繁殖。然而,人们对池塘繁殖的蝾螈幼虫的生态学知之甚少,比如小溪流中的食物。为了进一步了解东京小水蚤幼虫在小溪流中的觅食生态,我们对日本东京八尺路市次生林中9条小溪流的潜在猎物进行了调查。此外,我们假设东京纹夜蛾幼虫优先捕食活跃的无脊椎动物而不是不活跃的猎物,因为它们是多面手,坐等捕食者。为了验证这一假设,我们通过实验研究了东京纹夜蛾幼虫对两种主要节肢动物(等足类和翼翅目)的捕食频率和潜在猎物的活动(即移动频率和距离)。结果表明,等足类(Asellus hilgendorfii)和翼翅目(Nemouridae幼虫)是东京火蜥蜴栖息的小溪流中占优势的两种水生无脊椎动物,幼虫对等足类的消耗多于翼翅目幼虫,等足类的活性高于翼翅目幼虫。综上所述,等足类动物数量多,活动明显,是小溪流中蝾螈幼虫的主要捕食对象。

Fejervarya kawamurai (Dicroglossidae) is an invasive species occurring in several populations in the Kanto region, including Fujisawa City, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan. To estimate the ecological impacts of this frog, we investigated the food habits of invasive populations. We collected 119 individuals of F. kawamurai. Of these, 108 (90.8%) had stomach contents that included various small animals. Therefore, this invasive frog might influence the ecosystem via predation pressure on small native animals.
川村飞虫(Dicroglosidae)是一种入侵物种,出现在关东地区的几个种群中,包括日本神奈川县藤泽市。为了估计这种青蛙对生态的影响,我们调查了入侵种群的饮食习惯。我们收集了119个川村F。其中108只(90.8%)有胃内容物,其中包括各种小动物。因此,这种入侵蛙可能会通过对小型本土动物的捕食压力影响生态系统。
