| phylogeographic analysis of the firefly, luciola lateralis, in japan and korea based on mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase ii gene sequences (coleoptera: lampyridae). | luciola lateralis is widely distributed throughout the korean peninsula, northeast china, sakhalin, and japan. two ecological types are recognized in japan based on flash and hatching time characteristics. the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase ii gene was surveyed by restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis for japan (46 populations) and korea (two populations). eleven haplotypes were detected. gene trees revealed that haplotypes between japan and korea are much more differentiated in nu ... | 2004 | 15524308 |
