Book 2017ing of some 6,800 islands that are arrayed for approximately 3,500 km from north to south, the Japanese archipelago has a complex history in a paleogeographic formation process over time and harbors rich flora and fauna. This work will contribute to establishing a general biogeographic theory in arc

An Overview of Recent Marine Biodiversity Research in JapanMalacostraca) and Thermosbaenacea (Crustacea: Malacostraca), the class Monoplacophora (Mollusca), and the phylum Gnathostomulida, clearly show that knowledge of Japan’s marine biodiversity remains incomplete. Repeated, long-term surveys should be conducted in both shallow and deep waters.

堅毅

Tardigrade Research in Japan can tolerate extreme conditions. Freshwater and marine species have been less studied than terrestrial species. However, biodiversity research on Japanese marine tardigrades became active after 2013. In this chapter, studies on tardigrades in Japan are briefly reviewed. A total of 166 species known from Japan are listed.

Most of the species are poorly understood, and the taxonomic identity of each species should be investigated in future studies. . nom. nov. is herein proposed for .

“Land Emergence” and “Elevation Shift” Affect Diversification: A New Perspective Toward Understandinns of diversification in the islands adjacent to the main Japanese islands (Hokkaido, Honshu, Shikoku, and Kyushu) and the within-island diversification in the main islands. In this chapter, I propose two potential models to explain such diversification: ‘land emergence’ effects and ‘elevation shift

The degree of endemism at the species/subspecies level is low in the former (11.8?%) and high in the latter (47.2?%). In this chapter, I investigated the geographic patterns of
