| Research Abstract |
The Tokara Islands are volcanic islands, and are not joined with Kyushu and Amami Islands. In this study, I performed of the molecular population genetics and comparison morphological analysis of the family Lucanidae showing three distribution patterns. As a result, I discussed the invasion course, invasion time and the number of invasion to the Tokara Islands, and discussed the factor of the invasion events in the volcanic island.
