Distribution pattern of biota in refugia in central and southwesternJapan in the last glacial maximum

在植物大型化石和花粉分析的基础上，结合现代种群的分子分析，研究了末次冰盛期温带植物避难所的分布和种群结构。小片温带树木分布在山谷沿线的中原地区，也分布在日本中部相对内陆的地区。温带乔木也分布在日本西南部太平洋一侧的内陆地区，在避难所保持了较高的遗传多样性。

Distribution and population structure of refugia of temperate plants in the last glacial maximum were studied based on plant macrofossils and pollen analysis with molecular analysis of the modern populations. Small patches of temperate trees were distributed in mesic places along valleys also in relatively inland areas in central Japan. Temperate trees were distributed also in inland areas in the Pacific side of southwestern Japan and a higher genetic diversity was maintained in the refugia.
