A New Species of Pacificampa (Diplura: Campodeidae) from Akiyoshidai, Honshu Island, Japan, and the Phylogenetic Position of the Genus
A new troglobitic dipluran species of the campodeid genus Pacificampa Chevrizov, 1978, P. dodecas sp. nov., collected from four caves in Akiyoshidai district, Yamaguchi Prefecture, Japan, is described. This new species is clearly disting...

Genetic Diversity and Estimated Geographical Origin of Critically Endangered Captive Black Rhinoceros in Japan: Implications for Future Conservation and Breeding
Black rhinoceros (Diceros bicornis) is critically threatened with extinction in the wild due to illegal horn poaching and habitat loss. Captive breeding programs for this species have become crucial insurance for endangered wild populati...

Gene Expression of Neuropeptides in the Blood Cells of the Common Carp, Cyprinus carpio
Several neuropeptides are reported to function in the immune system of teleost fish. Prolactin-releasing peptide-2 (PrRP2) is thought to be a local modulator of the innate immune response in leukocytes of Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar. We...

Hybrid Zone Dynamics and Stabilization Shape the Restricted Distribution of the Southern Izu Lineage of Cynops pyrrhogaster (Amphibia: Caudata)
Geographic shifts of hybrid zones driven by asymmetric migration can result in the replacement of one lineage by another through introgressive gene flow, and thus warrant particular attention in conservation biology. We examined the gene...

Sandlances of the family Ammodytidae are small marine teleosts comprising 35 valid nominal species in seven genera, found from the Arctic to tropical seas. The family is known for its unique morphological specializations: degeneration of...

Visceral Fat Deposition and Lipidome Responses to a Nutrient-Rich Diet in the Japanese Three-Spined Stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus)
Nutrient availability differs among habitats and can promote evolutionary divergence in metabolic traits. For example, freshwater habitats are typically deficient in polyunsaturated fatty acids, such as docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), and fr...

Insights into Den Occupancy and Den-Master Turnover of the Japanese Giant Salamander (Andrias japonicus) from a 22-Year Monitoring Program in the Shijihara River, Hiroshima
Understanding the long-term spatial ecology of wildlife is pivotal for effective conservation, particularly for endangered species. However, the life history of the Japanese giant salamander Andrias japonicus, an endangered fully aquatic...

Male Medaka, Oryzias latipes, Determine Their Reproductive Tactics Based on Dominance Relationships With Rival Males and Courtship Aggressiveness Toward Females
In animal species where dominance relationships are established through male-male competition, many subordinate males do not participate in reproduction, but some subordinate males gain reproductive opportunities through alternative tact...

Cryptic Genetic Differentiation of the Cicada Vagitanus terminalis in the South Ryukyu Islands
The biota of the southern part of the Ryukyu Archipelago (South Ryukyu) is considered to have been formed relatively recently by organisms that migrated from Taiwan Island and continental China. However, phylogeographic patterns of insec...

Post-Fission Regeneration and Life-History Traits in the Fissiparous Brittle Star Ophiactis savignyi (Ophiuroidea: Amphilepidida: Ophiactidae)
Fissiparity, a form of asexual reproduction, involves the loss of significant body parts followed by regeneration. In echinoderms, this mode of reproduction has been documented in numerous species, particularly among holothurians, astero...
