Seed dispersal significantly influences plant population dynamics; however, our understanding of its implications at a landscape scale remains limited. We investigated how different seed dispersal processes impact the distributions of individual species within a 20 km × 20 km plot centered around a temperate old-growth forest reserve in Japan. We hypothesized that random variation in seed dispersal (i.e., stochastic processes) and variation mediated by distance (i.e., deterministic processes) would explain landscape-scale species distributions more effectively than deterministic seed dispersal processes alone. We evaluated 16 tree species with different seed dispersal modes by simulating seed dispersal processes. Stochastic simulations predicted higher dispersal distances for the majority of species. The findings of this study suggest that stochastic simulations are a more reliable tool for identifying dispersal restrictions in the context of climate change and biodiversity loss, highlighting the significance of using stochastic simulations for analyzing seed dispersal patterns in temperate forests, rather than more conventional deterministic methods.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":37957,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Asia-Pacific Biodiversity","volume":"17 4","pages":"Pages 800-806"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2024-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142704888","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our current research has deciphered the mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of <em>A. mylitta</em> by recovering the complete genome sequence from the NCBI-SRA database and comparing it with other mitogenomes from the order Lepidoptera. The mitogenome is a double-stranded circular molecule spanning 15,354 bp with an A + T content of roughly 80.4%. It consists of a total of 37 genes, comprising 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNAs (tRNAs), and two ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs), along with a 337 bp long control region. The arrangement of PCGs is similar to other Lepidoptera mitogenomes, with the exception of <em>Cox1</em> and <em>Cox2</em>, which have different initiation codons. The control region of <em>A. mylitta</em> contains a conserved five bp ATAGA motif as seen in other <em>Antheraea</em> species. Phylogenetic analysis supports previous morphological hypotheses that Bombycoidea, Noctuoidea, Geometroidea, Papilionoidea, and Torticoidea are monophyletic. The divergence time analysis of 13 protein-coding genes reported that <em>A. mylitta</em> diverged from the last common ancestor ∼ 23 million years ago.
