Abstract; Six populations of Corbicula J'aponica, thTee populations of C. ieana and one twelve isozyme coding loci population of C santlai were electrophoretically analyzed at in order to appToach the phylogenetic relationship among the three species and the level of intra-specific differentiation within C. japonica and C. Ieana, Among them, C, J'apenica was the most variable with most ef the examined loci being polymorphic. It was also most geographically differentiated. Genetic differentiation among populations of C. joponi- ea was not large enough te regard the geographic morphs as subspecies, C. sandai, endemic to Lake Biwa, was more variable than C. Ieana, a triploid species. Most of the examined loci of C. leana were monomorphic. A phylogenetic tree constructed from Nei's genetic distances between populations indicated that C. J'aponica diverged from the ancestral species first, with C sandai and C. leana subsequently differentiating from each other. Introduction Corbicula species are common bivalves, and an economically important aquatic resource in Japan.

    Beer: A Matter of Science and Perception 74th Annual Meeting of the American Society of Brewing Chemists June 11–15, 2011 Sanibel Harbour Marriott Resort Fort Myers, FL, U.S.A. Photo courtesy of the Lee County Visitor & Convention Bureau. “It’s these changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes…” – Jimmy Buffett On behalf of the Program Committee, welcome to the 74th Annual Meeting of the American Society of Brewing Chemists! This is the first time our meeting has been in Fort Myers, Florida, nicknamed the “City of Palms.” Our meeting location is right on the Intercoastal Waterway right across from Sanibel Island, making it a perfect place to get away from the daily grind (brewing pun intended) and to really focus on The Science of Beer. This year, several elements of the program came together to create our theme, Beer: A Matter of Science and Perception. ASBC meetings Jeff Cornell draw many of the best brewing scientists from around the world to present their work and share their knowledge. But scientific research applied to beer and brewing is rarely black or white. Part of that “gray” area involves another science – perception. The way we perceive things touches our professional lives on a daily basis, whether it’s a sensory evaluation of beer or how we go about solving problems. So to explore Table of Contents these areas further, the program features two outstanding speakers: Jeannine Delwiche on “Impact of Multimodal Sensory Input on Perception of Beer Flavor,” and Karl Siebert on “Changing Schedule at a Glance ............... 3 Paradigms.” Also on the perception theme, you’ll find a pre-meeting short course addressing the Program many aspects of beer haze and colloidal stabilization and a sensory workshop focused on mouth- Friday .................................
