The genetic structure and demographic history of marine organisms are influenced by biological and ecological features, oceanic currents, and the paleo-geological effects of sea-level fluctuations. In this study, we used mitochondrial COI + 16S gene...
The ichthyofauna of continental islands is characterized by immigration through a land bridge due to fluctuating sea levels. Hainan Island is adjacent to the southern margin of mainland China and provides opportunities for understanding the origin an...
South China’s freshwater biodiversity has been shaped by Quaternary climatic oscillations and persistent geological barriers. We investigated the phylogeography and conservation implications of the primary freshwater fish Microphysogobio kachek...
Oceanic currents, biological traits, and geological evidence from historical climate change have shaped the distribution of genetic diversity and demographic history in Macrobrachium japonicum. In this study, we investigated the phylogeographic struc...
The Japanese archipelago as a continental island of the Eurasia continent and harboring high levels of plant species diversity provides an ideal geographical setting for investigating vicariant allopatric speciation due to the sea-level fluctuations...
Schistosomiasis is still one of the most significant neglected tropical diseases worldwide, and China is endemic for Schistosoma japonicum. With its great achievement in schistosomiasis control, the government of China has set the goal to eliminate t...
Hopea celebica Burck is an endangered dipterocarp endemic to Sulawesi, Indonesia, occurring in two ecologically contrasting habitats: karst and ultrabasic forests. These environments differ markedly in soil composition and topography, potentially dri...
