| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The Hokkaido salamander (Hynobius retardatus) is an endemic species inhabiting in Hokkaido Japan. Larvae of the Hokkaido salamander exhibit phenotypic plasticity that associate with defense against predators, offense to prey and conspecific larvae. The larval phenotypic plasticity is an eligible phenomenon for the integrative study of evolutionary ecology and molecular developmental biology.
In this project, I tried to investigate, (1) morphological changes associated with the phenotypic plasticity by geometric morphometric analysis, (2) the genomic information about the morphological changes with the phenotypic plasticity by a RNAseq analysis, and (3) variations of morphology and morphological changes (developmental reaction norm) and microsatellite polymorphism among five local populations in the whole distribution area of the endemic species.
