Research Abstract

I study mainly coral-inhabiting crabs on the temperate region of Japan, based on the molecular analyses using mitochondrial COI gene. The results showed that the different coral families had different type of coral-inhabiting crabs. Also temperate-specific coral-inhabiting crabs were found in this study. Furthermore, temperate specific zooxanthellae, which are main coral symbionts, also existed. Thus, symbionts of corals on the temperate region of Japan might have evolved independently this region.
