Nucleotide sequences of sika deer (Cervus nippon) collected from the eastern part of Shikoku Island were investigated & compared with those from other areas. Nucleotide sequence of the whole D-loop region of the mitochondrial DNA was determined by direct sequencing technique for each sample. The phylogenetic tree constructed by the sequences indicates that sika deer from Shikoku Island are divided into two distinct lineages: the northern Japan group and the southern Japan group. Proportion of the northern Japan lineage was higher in the northeastern part of the sampling area. There was no border between the distribution of the two lineages, rather it seemed that their distribution intermingled. Besides, there were locations where both lineages were found within a small area. These results indicate that two lineages might be hybridized in some areas of eastern Shikoku.

In this study, we investigated the diving behavior of sei whales relative to the vertical -distribution of their potential prey in the western North Pacific during the summer of 2013. Acoustic time-depth transmitters were attached to two sei whales for 10.2 and 32.0 h, respectively. The vertical distribution and density (expressed as the volume backscattering strength, SV) of their potential prey were recorded by an echosounder. Diving behavior was classified into two shapes: U-shaped and V-shaped. For both individuals, U-shaped diving was associated with higher SV values than V-shaped diving and the frequency of U-shaped diving increased from late afternoon until sunset. During the daytime, dense scattering layers (presumably zooplankton) were distributed at approximately 40 m and they then migrated toward the surface around sunset. The diving depth of the whales followed the diel migration of the scattering layers and the diving was concentrated in these layers when the density became high. The results of this study indicate that sei whales change their diving depth and shapes in response to the diel vertical migration of their potential prey.

Samples of the sika deer (Cervus nippon) were collected from Kyushu and Shikoku Islands of Japan and surrounding areas, and their nucleotide sequences were analyzed. Sequences of the whole control region of the mitochondrial DNA were determined and phylogenetic trees were constructed using the neighbor-joining method and the maximum likelihood method. We also investigated gene genealogies for the sequences using the statistical parsimony network approach. Phylogenetic trees showed that only the Yakushima/Tanegashima populations were genetically distant from other populations. The statistical parsimony network, however, indicated a close relationship of the Miyazaki populations to some of the Shikoku populations. It was suggested that Shikoku Island played an important role in the divergence from the southern Japan lineage of C. nippon.

Recent overpopulation of the sika deer (Cervus nippon) in Hokkaido has resulted in expansion of their distribution from eastern to western parts of this island. To assess changes of genetic population structures of the Hokkaido sika deer, mitochondrial DNA control sequences (602 base-pairs) from 283 animals collected from central and western Hokkaido were analyzed. Based on transitional substitutions (A < - > G) at four nucleotide sites, five haplotypes were identified. One haplotype was newly found in the present study, and the other four haplotypes referred to those reported previously. The distribution patterns of haplotypes showed characteristic changes of genetic population structures, compared with the past distribution of haplotypes. In northern Hokkaido, for instance, the population around the Okhotsk Sea-coastal region has clearly expanded to the Japan Sea-coastal region. The population around the Ishikari-lowlands and the Hidaka mountains has increased within these areas, and it is not likely that the increase is directly caused by the immigration from eastern Hokkaido.

The seasonal variation in home range size of one male and one female Iriomote Cat Prionailurus bengalensis iriomotensis was studied by radio-tracking and automatic photography on Iriomote Island, Japan. The study was conducted in the Shirahama area located in the western part of the island. Shirahama provides a small area of suitable lowland habitat (<50 m a.s.l.) for the Iriomote Cat. Two individuals, one male and one female, were confirmed to be resident in this area. The periodical home range size of the male was 1.24 ± 0.41 km2 and that of the female was 1.30 ± 0.54 km2 throughout the year, with no significant difference between them. We compared the results of these observations with those from another area of suitable habitat in Funaura and discussed what factors may affect male home range size. The home range of the male cat in Shirahama was found to be only half the size of that of males in Funaura, though it showed similar seasonal fluctuation. The home ranges of females were similar in the two areas. Our results provide empirical confirmation of the influence of the number and distribution of females on male home range size in a solitary felid.

We excavated a breeding nest of the Daurian pika, Ochotona daurica, in central Mongolia. Four young were captured within the burrows. Three food storage chambers contained plant fragments and a large amount of fecal matter, indicating that hoarded food had been consumed during the last winter. The nest chamber was spherical and measured 22×18×21 cm. Most of the nest chamber was filled with piles of grasses, and these piles were presumably their resting site. The burrow system had three entrances, and the nest chamber was connected to three burrows. Multiple nest entrances were provided ready access to refuge for pikas active on the ground surface from aerial and terrestrial predators, while multiple burrows also provide refuge against the intrusion of predators such as stoats into nest chambers.

Food habits of the raccoon dog (Nyctereutes orocyonoides) at a western suburb of Tokyo were analyzed by the point-frame method by use of 344 fecal samples for a year. The food habits were omnivorous, but plants, particularly plant leaves and seeds, were predominant. The seasonal foods were characterized by leaves and flowers in spring, insects in summer, seeds in autumn, and birds/mammals and artificial foods in winter. Dependency on artificial foods was not strong. The raccoon dogs fed on various fruits and nuts, among which those of planted fruit trees like ginkgo and persimmon were particularly important. The raccoon dog seems to have adapted themselves to "satoyama", a traditional Japanese landscape.

We developed a habitat suitability model for wild boar Sus scrofa in the Mt. Baekwoonsan region of Korea. We recorded wild boar field signs (dust baths, bedding sites, digging areas, feces and tracks) and habitat variables such as the nearest distance to watercourses (DWATER) and trails (DTRAIL), slope, aspect (ASPECT), forest type and forest age. Field signs and habitat characteristics were assessed within a 25 × 25 m quadrat along seven survey routes from August 1999 to July 2000. We conducted a CATMOD regression analysis based on 416 field signs at 50 points and classified them into 3 levels of habitat importance (high, medium and low) based on the relative importance of field signs. Habitat suitability indices (P) were calculated based on significant relationships between parameters such as DWATER, DTRAIL and ASPECT resulting in the following function: P = 1/(1 + exp – (3.82 × (DWATER) – 1.21 × (DTRAIL) + 1.35 × (ASPECT))). Important habitats of wild boar were distributed near watercourses and far from trails along east and south-facing slopes.
