Transplant and common garden experiments have been used in studies on local adaptation, but are difficult to be conducted for large animals with long life span. A previous study on the southern Japanese islands demonstrated that relative limb lengths of sika deer (Cervus nippon) were short on islands with steep slopes. We hypothesized that this morphological variation was evidence for local adaptation,...
Populations of the Asian black bear (Ursus thibetanus) are relatively large and continuous in central Honshu, the main island of Japan, but they are isolated in western Honshu. To clarify the degree of genetic isolation of the populations in western Honshu, we compared the genetic diversities of four populations in western Honshu with that of one of the continuous populations of central Honshu. Three...
