Young RES mainly eat animal matter, but shift to a diet that includes plants as they grow. In recent years, feeding damage by RES to crops, other cultivated plants and endangered plants has been reported in Japan. Few case studies, however, have focused on the feeding damage by this species to Japanese wild plants. Our study therefore aimed to quantify the feeding damage to Japanese wild plants by RES by comparing data on plants available in their habitat to the stomach contents of the turtles. From April to December, 2018, and April to November, 2019, we captured RES at three ponds in Okayama Prefecture, Japan, during two days each month. A total of 39 individual turtles (14 males and 25 females) were captured using basket traps in the ponds. A total of 35 families, 60 genera and 74 species of vascular plants and algae were found in the ponds. The stomach contents of adult RES from the three ponds contained more plant matter, including algae (71%), than animal matter (29%), confirming previous reports. The stomach contents also included Japanese native plants (Tamasu pond: 63%, Narazu pond: 40%, Sayama pond: 57%, with the total contents of all three ponds being 56%). The findings indicate that Japanese native plant species are included in the diet of the RES.","PeriodicalId":56053,"journal":{"name":"Current Herpetology","volume":"39 1","pages":"107 - 98"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2020-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44176530","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In contrast, another turtle, Reeves' pond turtle (M. reevesii), usually inhabits lowland areas. Explanation of this pattern based on habitat segregation between M. japonica and M. reevesii remains controversial because several studies have emphasized that M. reevesii is not indigenous but rather introduced from mainland China and the Korean Peninsula. The newly proposed hypothesis is that M. reevesii and the recently introduced red-eared slider (Trachemys scripta elegans) have excluded M. japonica from certain suitable habitats in lowland areas. In this study, to test whether M. japonica originally had a broad distribution range covering the habitats currently occupied exclusively by M. reevesii and T. s. elegans, we applied species distribution modeling using MaxEnt and ENMTools to estimate the suitable habitats and ecological niches of M. japonica, M. reevesii, and T. s. elegans, respectively, and examined these similarities. The models showed that M. japonica had the largest suitable habitat range, from flatlands to foothill areas, compared to that of alien species; however, almost the entire habitat area of the native turtle and that of the aliens overlapped. Moreover, these turtles possessed significantly high niche similarity. These results are consistent with the hypothesis that recent species interactions have shaped the distribution of indigenous and alien turtles, although the precise ecological and evolutionary processes have not yet been determined.","PeriodicalId":56053,"journal":{"name":"Current Herpetology","volume":"39 1","pages":"147 - 159"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2020-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46636904","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, control operations of the lizard are being carried out in some areas on the Ogasawara Islands. The primary population-control measure is the use of adhesive traps on tree trunks. Identification of the characteristics of the tree trunk type that this lizard uses frequently will contribute to effective setting of the traps, thereby improving catchability. To clarify whether or not there is a perching site preference according to plant species, we evaluated the available (n=1,228) and observed (n=811) perching sites in terms of tree species. A lizard food resource survey was also conducted on four major plant species. As for the selectivity of plant species, the screw pine (Pandanus boninensis) was strongly preferred by adult and juvenile anoles (P<0.05). Food availability is not considered to be the rationale for the anoles' preference of the screw pine, because the number of arthropods collected at the screw pine was not larger compared to those on other plant species examined.","PeriodicalId":56053,"journal":{"name":"Current Herpetology","volume":"39 1","pages":"137 - 146"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2020-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70621808","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
