| Research Abstract |
A macaque population produced by the hybridization of native Japanese macaques and introduced Taiwanese macaques in Wakayama was studied for its genetic features.. Using nuclear, Y chromosome and mitochondrial DNA markers, it was revealed that the hybridization had occurred through interbreed of group females with immigrant Japanese males by producing fertile offspring and that relative gene frequencies of Japanese macaques increased rapidly in the hybrid population. Dispersal of exotic genes from the hybrid population by adult male transfer was investigated by assessing geographic distribution of Y chromosome specific markers. There was no evidence of gene flow from the introduced population to those in the neighboring provinces. A diagnostic nuclear marker of natural resistance-associated macrophage protein 1 (NRAMPI) was newly developed for the assessment of hybridization. Preliminary results were also obtained for the applicability of amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) to the study of hybrid macaque populations.
An introduced group of foreign macaque species in the southernmost of the Bousou peninsula, Chiba, was con-firmed to contain at least rhesus monkeys. From genetic analysis of this study, it was revealed that reciprocal hybridization took place between the introduced and native macaques in the peninsula.
Distribution and recent expansion of introduced Taiwanese macaques in Izu-ohsima Island was studied with special interests on geographic distribution of mitochondrial DNA variations. Two haplotypes were distributed ubiquitously and this distribution pattern might result from differential expansion of two maternal lineages after the introduction of their parental population to the island.
