The introduction of the sika deer (Cervus nippon) to South Korea has negatively impacted its wild ecosystems and native species, including those on Jeju Island. However, there is limited knowledge of sika deer ecology to inform effective species management and policy decisions. To bridge this knowledge gap, we examined the group dynamics, with a focus on age-sex class structure, group size, and habitat utilization variation of sika deer on Jeju Island, South Korea, by analyzing three years of camera trap data. Our findings illuminate a slightly skewed sex ratio toward females, with adults and yearlings comprising the dominant age class. The annual relative abundance of each age class showed a single activity peak in May for both yearlings and adults, whereas a peak was observed in August for juveniles. Group sizes ranged from to 1–7 individuals, with a mean group size of 3.72 ± 1.25 individuals. Habitat utilization patterns differed by age class, with juvenile abundance escalating with increasing distance from the forest edge, whereas adult females were active close to human settlements. This study highlights the critical importance of controlling the adult female population as a direct strategy for mitigating conflicts arising from sika deer habitat utilization. By addressing the unique behavior and habitat preferences of sika deer, our findings provide valuable insights for informed decision-making, effective species management, and preservation of native ecosystems, particularly on Jeju Island.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":37957,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Asia-Pacific Biodiversity","volume":"18 3","pages":"Pages 563-569"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144917227","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The genus comprises approximately 20 species distributed across Asia and Europe, 16 of which are found on the Korean Peninsula. Among these, Pseudolysimachion kiusianum var. diamantiacum (Nakai) T. Yamaz is an endemic species of the Korean Peninsula, notable for its unique morphological traits. Despite its horticultural potential and existing research on its cultivation, the genetic resources for Pseudolysimachion remain limited. In the present study, we sequenced the complete chloroplast genome sequence of P. kiusianum var. diamantiacum for the first time and conducted a phylogenetic analysis within the genus. The chloroplast genome of P. kiusianum var. diamantiacum is 152,249 bp long and features a large single-copy region (83,187 bp), small single-copy region (17,704 bp), and two inverted repeats (25,679 bp each). Phylogenetic analysis of 35 chloroplast genomes, one genome generated in this study and 34 obtained from the NCBI GenBank confirmed the monophyly of Plantaginaceae and positioned Pseudolysimachion within the Veroniceae tribe. The complete chloroplast genome sequence of P. kiusianum var. diamantiacum provided here can be utilized to develop species-specific markers through comparison with closely related species. Further studies should aim to clarify its phylogenetic position within Pseudolysimachion.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":37957,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Asia-Pacific Biodiversity","volume":"18 3","pages":"Pages 499-503"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144917151","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study investigates the spatial occupancy, population density, and activity patterns of the Sri Lankan leopard in KNP, Sri Lanka. Our findings reveal a higher concentration of leopards around water bodies and rocky areas, which provide shelter and support prey species such as wild buffalo and spotted deer. Using random encounter models (REM) and spatially explicit capture–recapture (SECR) analyses the population density of leopards was estimated. The study identified the eastern region of KNP as having one of the highest recorded leopard densities globally, with REM and SECR estimates showing statistically similar results of approximately 41 leopards per 100 km2. This high density is attributed to the availability of prey and habitat variability that supports the ecological needs of leopards. The study underscores the importance of KNP as a stronghold of leopards in southern Sri Lanka and the necessity of preserving its natural habitats.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":37957,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Asia-Pacific Biodiversity","volume":"18 2","pages":"Pages 416-426"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144139633","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
