P. 68 Greetings On behalf of the organizing committee, I would like to welcome you to the Institute for Amphibian Biology of Hiroshima University’s International Symposium, “Frontiers in Amphibian Biology: Endangered Species Conservation and Genome Editing,” held in Hiroshima on March 27–28. The Institute is now engaged in a research project titled “Pioneering amphibian research: conservation of endangered amphibian species and development of gene targeting methods,” which is funded by a special education and research expense from the Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology. The project will conclude at the end of fiscal 2013. The purpose of this symposium is to introduce the outcomes and findings of the project, as well as promote international exchange among researchers of amphibian biology. The symposium’s scientific program comprises oral and poster presentations covering research areas such as endangered species conservation, landscape genetics, genome editing, and other topics in amphibian biology. To explore the recent progress in these areas, 10 invited biologists and 4 members of the Institute’s staff will give oral presentations with chaired discussion. In addition, 46 participants will give poster presentations with free discussion. The oral presentations will focus on genome editing on March 27 and on endangered species conservation on March 28. I hope that this symposium is able to greatly benefit the study of amphibian biology by inspiring future investigations, stimulating collaborative endeavors, and establishing new friendships. The organizing committee wishes all participants a productive and enjoyable visit, and I look forward to seeing you in Hiroshima. Masayuki Sumida (Ph. D.)

Genetic differentiation between populations of R. amurensis from Sakhalin and the Maritime Territory was found to be minimal. The resultant phylogenetic tree indicates monophyly of brown frogs and earliest divergence of R. amurensis among all the brown frogs studied. For this reason, separation of R. amurensis from the R. japonica group is suggested, but separation of the R. sauteri complex as a distinct ge- nus or subgenus Pseudorana is not supported.

Resultant phylogenetic trees indicated a considerable genetic differentia- tion between R. longicrus and R. japonica in spite of their close morphological and ecological similarities. The R. sauteri complex includes two genetically distinct groups that are not consistent with current classifica- tion. One group including populations of Alishan (central Taiwan) and Sanyi (western Taiwan) seemed to be closest to R. tagoi and the presumptive common ancestor of these frogs is thought to have diverged very early. Another group including a population from Wulai (northern Taiwan) showed a sister relationship with R. tsushimensis and R. okinavana, both isolated on small islands of Japan. These Taiwanese and Japanese brown frogs as a whole form a monophyletic group, and separation of the R.

The organizer is believed to involute inward and migrate animally to make physical contact with the prospective head neuroectoderm at the blastocoel roof of mid- to late-gastrula. However, we found that this physical contact was already established at the equatorial region of very early gastrula in a wide variety of amphibian species. Here we propose a unified model of amphibian gastrulation movement. In the model, the organizer is present at the blastocoel roof of blastulae, moves vegetally to locate at the region that lies from the blastocoel floor to the dorsal lip at the onset of gastrulation. The organizer located at the blastocoel floor con- tributes to the anterior axial mesoderm including the prechordal plate, and the organizer at the dorsal lip ends up as the posterior axial mesoderm. During the early step of gastrulation, the anterior organizer moves to estab- lish the physical contact with the prospective neuroectoderm through the “subduction and zippering” move- ments.
