The spread of the invasive species Reynoutria japonica Houtt. will both expand and contract with climate change: results of climate modelling for 14 European countries

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 7, Page 3642-3653, July 2025.
Technical scheme of the study. We conducted modelling (Maxent) and predicted changes in the range of Reynoutria japonica in Europe in response to climate change. This provided a theoretical foundation for the risk assessment and effective management of plant invasions.

An Environmental DNA Survey on Distribution of an Endangered Salmonid Species, Parahucho perryi, in Hokkaido, Japan

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020
For protecting endangered species, precise understanding of their distribution is crucial. However, it is often very difficult to estimate at a large scale with conventional methods (e.g., casting nets or electrofishing for aquatic species) because of ...

Are disjunct populations of Betula costata in the Japanese Archipelago glacial relict? An attempt at verification by species distribution modeling

Ecological Research, Volume 40, Issue 4, Page 475-490, July 2025.
To test the working hypothesis that the Japanese population of Betula costata is a glacial relict, suitable habitats for the species in the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), mid‐Holocen, and present were projected using the species distribution model (SDM) approach.

Environmental Gradients, Not Geographic Boundaries, Structure Meiofaunal Communities in Siberian Seas

Environmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 3, May–June 2025.
This study uses sediment eDNA metabarcoding to assess the diversity and distribution of meiofauna in Siberian seas, marking the first application of this technique in the region. Our results reveal that meiofauna diversity is similar across the three studied seas; however, both meiofauna diversity and the maturity index of nematode communities are ...

Overlooked and misunderstood: A morpho‐molecular revision of Ditrichaceae s.str. (Dicranidae, Bryophyta), with a focus on the Holarctic species of Ditrichum

TAXON, Volume 74, Issue 2, Page 223-259, April 2025.
Abstract We revised the Holarctic taxa of Ditrichaceae on the basis of both organellar DNA sequence data and morphological traits. After the removal of phylogenetically discordant elements related to Flexitrichum and Rhamphidium, the remaining representatives of the family cluster into three well‐supported lineages, which are recognized here as the ...
