Research Abstract

This project aims to conduct the inclusive surveys and discuss the management procedure of island ecosystem of the Iriomote, in Ryukyu archipelago, Japan. The study focused first on the Iriomote cat as the top of food chain of this island, secondly on the fauna of this island, and thirdly on the assessment of habitat condition including the effect of human activity.
1. We obtained an annual life cycle of the Iriomote cat, which is one of the most important points to consider both of its ecology and conservation. Furthermore, continuous surveys clarified that the density and spacing pattern of this species varied between habitats in the island and that some males largely moved area to area. Habitat analysis using the radio-tracking data and GIS data has started.
2. Clinical pathological examinations on rescued and dead Iriomote cats.
3. Ecological, taxonomical, biogeographical surveys were conducted on fauna of Iriomote Island. Especially detailed analysis was done on reptiles together with South-eastern Asia samples. And ecological data were collected on the crested serpent eagle as well.
4. Distribution and some ecological data on two invasive species, feral cats and soft-shelled turtles, were collected. Concerning to feral cats, possibilities of competition with Iriomote cats and infection of disease were suggested and pattern of dispersion of soft-shelled turtles was analyzed using allozyme electrophoresis.
Based these results, conservational problems of the Iriomote cat and other endangered species of Iriomote Island were suggested. Important data on the Iriomote cat, fauna in Iriomote Island and interrelationship between them were obtained in this project. To the inclusive understanding of Iriomote ecosystem, we need the detailed ecology of each animals, comprehensive survey on whole island community, survey on flora and forest and human activity.
