| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We have already clarified that Japanese macaques eat a wide variety of species of fungi fruiting bodies. In this study, as a next step, we aimed to prove that soil fungi species composition changes by the addition of feces of macaques that eat fungi fruiting bodies. We collected 30 feces of Japanese macaques in Yakushima. According to the microscopic observations, most of the feces contained live fungi spores. These feces were set on the ground of Yakushima under five different conditions to discriminate the effects of macaques' spore dispersal and the increase of ammonia fungi. Soil was collected after 1 month, 3 months, and 1 year of the experiments. Changes in fungi species composition are clarified by the DNA analysis of these soil and fecal samples.
