“…The gray red-backed vole, Korean field mouse, and least shrew may also have exhibited at least 2 migrations onto the island of Sakhalin (Pavlenko 1989;Iwasa et al 2000;Serizawa et al 2002;Sakka et al 2010;Abramson et al 2012;Ohdachi et al 2012). The similar pattern of coexistence of old and recent migrants in Sakhalin was also observed for the Siberian salamander (Matsui et al 2008;Poyarkov and Kuzmin 2008;Malyarchuk et al 2011Malyarchuk et al , 2013 and the carrion crow (Kryukov et al 2012). The present study also revealed that the sable experienced at least 2 waves of migration from the continent, during which 2 lineages (H1 and R2) mingled on Sakhalin.…”

“…However, the unique colonization histories of these peripheral populations have not been sufficiently discussed in combination with the demographic population expansions that occurred on mainland Eurasia, with the exception of studies on a limited number of species (Iwasa et al 2000;Poyarkov and Kuzmin 2008;Korsten et al 2009;Davison et al 2011;Abramson et al 2012;Ohdachi et al 2012;Hirata et al 2013). Thus, the specific process involved in the formation of these peripheral populations is not well understood.…”

“…Instead, the cold and dry climate led to coverage by tundra steppe-like vegetation; therefore, taiga forests have been fragmented as small patches in mainly southern Siberia (Abbott and Brochmann 2003;Semerikov et al 2007;Binney et al 2009). Many phylogeographic studies of boreal species in northeastern Eurasia have generally suggested the contraction of the ranges of boreal species into several refugia (e.g., southern Ural Mountains or southeastern Siberia) during glacial periods, followed by demographic expansion to form presentday distributions (Kvist et al 2001(Kvist et al , 2003Oshida et al 2005;Goropashnaya et al 2007;Fedorov et al 2008;Poyarkov and Kuzmin 2008;Korsten et al 2009;Hope et al 2010;Sakka et al 2010;Davison et al 2011;Malyarchuk et al 2011;Kryukov et al 2012;Ohdachi et al 2012;Todisco et al 2012;Malyarchuk et al 2013). However, how climate changes during the Pleistocene period influenced the demographic history of boreal species in northeastern Eurasia, particularly compared to Europe and North America, remains to be precisely determined.…”

We examined the nucleotide sequences of the mitochondrial NADH dehydrogenase subunit 2 gene (976 base pairs) for 279 individuals of the sable Martes zibellina (Carnivora, Mustelidae), derived from diverse areas throughout the regions of the Ural Mountains to the Russian Far East on the Eurasian continent and the peripheral peninsula (Kamchatka) and islands (Sakhalin, Hokkaido, and southern Kurils). The demographic history of the sable and its migration history to the eastern peripheral peninsula and islands were inferred using phylogeographic approaches. The analyses confirmed the previously found major lineages for the examined sables and further identified novel sublineages. Our data also support that a lineage, which is endemic to the eastern marginal islands (Sakhalin, Hokkaido, and southern Kurils), was produced by the demographic expansion of an ancestral lineage in the Eurasian continent. The most recent common ancestor of the Sakhalin, Hokkaido, and southern Kuril sables was estimated to exist during the Late Pleistocene. We also determined that another lineage exists on Sakhalin and is shared by the Far East Primorsky population. Our results indicate multiple migration events onto Sakhalin from the continent and suggest the importance of the formation of several straits to the distribution of sable lineages. Meanwhile, Kamchatka is dominated by a sole lineage which would also have followed the demographic expansion on the Eurasian continent. The Russian Far East was indicated as the source area for lineage diversifications; in this region, genetic diversity was relatively high, which is consistent with previous studies.

“…Based on the data of the mito chondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequence variation, the existence of the two Asiatic salamander species was demonstrated in a number of studies [1][2][3][4][5][6]. The range of the Siberian salamander (S. keyserlingii, Dybowski, 1870) extends from the northeast of the European part of Russia, northern Kazakhstan, China, Korea, and Japan to Chukotka [3,5]. The Siberian salamander is an excellent model for studying the adaptive strategies of wide ranging species, because this species can tol erate temperatures up to ⎯35°С and thereby is able to survive the long and severe Siberian winters [7].…”

Phylogenetic relationships among Asiatic salamanders of the genus Salamandrella based on variability of nuclear genes

Based on sequence variation of three nuclear genome genes (BDNF, POMC, and RAG1), the phy logenetic relationships among Asiatic salamanders of the genus Salamandrella, Siberian salamander (S. key serlingii) and Schrenk salamander (S. schrenkii), were examined. Both species demonstrated high levels of heterozygosity determined by intraspecific polymorphism. Fixed interspecific differences were revealed at one nucleotide position of the RAG1 gene, and thus the level of interspecific divergence over the three genes constituted only 0.04%. Analysis of the RAG1 polymorphism across the whole range of S. keyserlingii showed that only one gene variant, encoding for modified RAG1 recombinase, had the highest distribution to the north of the Amur region (west and northeast of Siberia). It is possible that the changes in the RAG1 gene in Siberian salamander are of an adaptive nature. However, cases of interspecific hybridization were identified in Jewish autonomous oblast (JAO), which contains one of the range borders between the two Salamandrella species.

Korean salamanders of the genus Hynobius are currently classified into 3 species, H. leechii, H. quelpaertensis, and H. yangi. To investigate the phylogenetic relationship of these species, we analyzed the partial sequence of mitochondrial cytochrome b gene (907 bp) of 197 specimens from 43 regions in South Korea. Of these specimens, 93 were additionally examined with 12S rRNA (799 bp). Based on the partial sequence of the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene and 12S rRNA, 89 and 36 haplotypes were defined, respectively, consisting of six subclades (H. leechii, H. quelpaertensis, H. yangi, HC1, HC2, and HC3). Among these subclades, the three subclades (HC1, HC2, and HC3) were clearly separated from the 3 previously reported species in the genus Hynobius. Pairwise sequence divergence between the six subclades ranged from 6.3 to 11.2% in cytochrome b gene and 2.0 to 4.3% in 12S rRNA. These results indicate there may be more divergent populations than the three currently described. Moreover, the estimation of divergence time revealed that the Hynobius species in South Korea diverged during the Miocene epoch, approximately 9 -5 MYA. In addition, we confirmed the distribution of the three known species (H. leechii, H. quelpaertensis, and H. yangi) and determined the distributions of new, distinct groups (or subclades; HC1, HC1, and HC3). To more accurately establish the taxonomic status and population structure, further genetic, morphological, and ecological studies will be needed.
