ABSTRACT In recent years, we have experienced mega‐flood disasters in Japan due to climate change. the last century, been building disaster prevention infrastructure (artificial levees and dams, referred as “grey infrastructure”) protect human lives assets from floods, but these hard protective measures will not function against mega‐floods. Moreover, a drastically depopulating society such that Japan, farmland abandonment prevails, it be more difficult maintain grey with limited tax income....
ABSTRACT Many long‐distance migratory birds are experiencing global declines, creating an urgent need for conservation actions. Engaging public commitment to their is therefore crucial. However, this task challenging as the social interest diminishes geographic distance issues increases. One potential solution reduce people's psychological by providing visual information that illustrates how avian routes connect countries and organizations implement measures in distant countries. In study,...
Populations of birds inhabiting wetlands and grasslands are decreasing globally due to farmland expansion subsequent agricultural intensification. In addition conserving natural habitats, managing cultivated abandoned likely be important future conservation measures; however, their relative suitability as avian habitat remains understudied. this study, we evaluated five types (wetland, pasture, cropland, farmland, solar power plant) for openland in an landscape central Hokkaido, northern...
Abstract Long‐distance dispersal (LDD) outside a species' breeding range contributes to genetic divergence. Previous phylogeographic studies of migratory bird species have not discriminated LDD from vicariant speciation in their diversification process. We conducted an integrative approach test the hypothesis, which predicts that Japanese subspecies diverged population coastal region East China Sea (CRECS) via over (ECS). Haplotype networks both mitochondrial and nuclear genes its three were...
Land cover change for agriculture is thought to be a major threat global biodiversity. However, its ecological impact has rarely been quantified in the Northern Hemisphere, as broad-scale conversion farmland mainly occurred until 1400s–1700s region, limiting availability of sufficient data. The Ishikari Lowland Hokkaido, Japan, offers an excellent opportunity address this issue, hunter–gatherer lifestyles dominated region mid-nineteenth century and land maps are available period changes...
Abstract Birds often hold important positions in the food webs of ecosystems. As a result, interactions between birds and their prey have attracted attention not only ecology, but also fields like agriculture conservation. Avian resources are well researched Japan, however there is no database critically reviewing molluscs as resource for birds. Here, we present new dietary information all Japanese bird species. In addition to addressing general diet categories specific habits each bird,...
Summary The Brown Shrike Lanius cristatus breeds across a large portion of eastern Asia. One subspecies, L. c. superciliosus , is primarily endemic to Japan and was historically abundant throughout its breeding range. However, both local- broad-scale studies documented drastic population decline between the 1970s 1990s, status taxon currently unavailable in Japan. We conducted nationwide survey estimate current size range this subspecies within further compared our findings historical ranges...
Aim: In theory, long-distance dispersal (LDD) outside a species’ range contributes to genetic divergence. However, previous studies have not discriminated this process from vicariant speciation in migratory bird species. We conducted an integrative phylogeographic approach test the LDD hypothesis, which predicts that Japanese subspecies diverged population coastal region of East China Sea (CRECS) via over (ECS). Location: Asia Taxon: Brown Shrike (Lanius cristatus) Methods: Both haplotype...

Abstract Islands as biodiversity sinks due to their small population size and low genetic variation are recently challenged by a phenomenon where continental lineage originates from islands. This raises an important question about through what demographic processes insular is introduced the continent its evolutionary consequences on continent. We address this focusing Asian rail species, Swinhoe’s Rail Coturnicops exquisitus , frequent trans-oceanic dispersal in continent-island system...
