Abstract:In recent years, Japanese oak wilt causing mass mortality of oak trees has exhibited a significant geographical expansion. Understanding the formation history of current local populations of Platypus quercivorus Murayama, a vector of Japanese oak wilt, is important foundational knowledge for effectively preventing forest damage. In this study, we used genome-wide single nucleotide polymorphism data to infer the population genetic structure and historical demography of P. quercivorus populations in eastern Japa… Show more
