| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We investigated the demographic history of the broadleaved evergreen trees Castanopsis and Quercus (Fagaceae) during the last glacial period in Japan using EST- associated microsatellites or restriction site associated DNA sequence. In C. sieboldii, we used approximate Bayesian computation for model comparison and parameter estimation for the demographic modeling. The results strongly support a demographic scenario that the Ryukyu Islands and the western parts in the main islands were derived from separate refugia and the eastern parts in the main islands and the Japan Sea groups were diverged from the western parts prior to the coldest stage of the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM). Our data indicate that multiple refugia survived at least one in the Ryukyu Islands, and the other three regions of the western and eastern parts and around the Japan Sea of the main islands of Japan during the LGM.
