We found 21 polymorphic nucleotide sites by sequencing the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region, which gave rise to a total of 15 haplotypes, labeled A to O. The A-type was found only in inland China (Guizhou and Sichuan), and the other haplotypes in China extended to several lineages;therefore, A. cochinchinensis may have its origin in the interior of China. The I-type has large distribution area and it also experienced a quick expansion in relative recent years. Haplotype differentiation was observed between the eastern and western side of the Central Mountain Ridge in Taiwan. Two lineages were found in Japan, one in the Yaeyama Islands and the other in remaining areas of Japan, implying that A. cochinchinensis independently colonized in Japan at least twice.展开更多

Sequencing of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) 1 region in 29 samples of A. schoberioides revealed 20 polymorphic nucleotide sites. As a result, the 29 samples of A. schoberioides fell into 15 distinct haplotypes and phylogenetic analyses revealed these haplotypes fell into two major clades, Clade 1 and Clade 2. The haplotypes of Clade 1 were distributed chiefly along the Pacific Ocean side of Japan, while those of Clade 2 occurred mainly along the Japan Sea side. This result suggests that A. schoberioides has migrated via two routes in Japan.展开更多
