Phylogeography is an integrative field of science linking micro‐and macro‐evolutionary
processes, contributing to the inference of vicariance, dispersal, speciation, and other …

The bitterling Tanakia lanceolata is a primary freshwater fish with wide distribution range in
Japan; therefore, analysis of this species will yield much information on the formation of …

The ability to attract mates, acquire resources for reproduction, and successfully outcompete
rivals for fertilizations may make demands on cognitive traits—the mechanisms by which an …

An understanding of recent evolutionary processes is essential for the successful
conservation and management of contemporary populations, especially where they concern …

Background Islands have traditionally been the centre of evolutionary biological research,
but the dynamics of immigration and differentiation at continental islands have not been well …

To investigate the phylogeography of the Japanese pale chub Opsariichthys platypus, we
examined the genetic differentiation, phylogenetic relationships, and historical demography …

Predicting the impacts of non-native species remains a challenge. As populations of a
species are genetically and phenotypically variable, the impact of non-native species on …

The modern-day distribution of freshwater fishes throughout multiple rivers is likely the result
of past migration during times when currently separate drainages were once connected …

The distributions of seven bitterling species and subspecies—Tanakia lanceolata, T.
