| Research Abstract |
We clarified current distribution of two invasive apple snails, Pomacea canaliculata and P. maculata in East and Southeast Asia, and ecological factors restricting their distribution area. Pomacea canaliculata were distributed widely from Southeast Asia to temperate Japan (Kanto Plain), whereas northern disrbitution limit of P. maculata was Iriomote Island. We demonstrated that P. canaliculata and P.maculata could hybridize and found the hybrid snails in field. The hybrid snails had an intermediated distribution range between the two snails with a northern distribution limit of Pusan, Korea. The most important factor causing the different distribution ranges among the species and hybrids were considered to be the different degrees of tolerance to low temperature during winter.
