All were buried. Although immediate rescue was conducted by skiers and snowboarders who were near by, the incident resulted in 7 fatalities. This was the largest avalanche trag- edy in the last two decades. The avalanche was a deep persistent slab, combined with melt-freeze crust and facets. This incident resulted in significant public discussion and commotion as 1) this happened in the Tateyama alpine area with easy public transportation access, 2) the area has become popular as the first skiing area in the at the start of the season, and 3) expansion of internet media such as social net- working. In this article, we report the avalanche data such as terrain, snowpack and weather, human fac- tors, as well as the intense interest by media and its correspondence.

So, it is easy to access from Tokyo. The mountain is known for its magnificent view of Mount Fuji. This is my third time to climb the mountain. At the first and second visits, I couldn’t see Mount Fuji clearly due to thick clouds. But this time, on a fine day in February (2018), I can finally see a satisfying scenery. Its snow-covered summit, unique to winter, pleases my eyes. Originally, I planned to go by car to the Kaminikkawa Pass near the summit from the Daibosatsu Pass starting point. But the road was closed during the winter. So, I had changed the plan and decided to choose the route via the Marukawa Pass to the summit. When I arrive there at around 6 am, a few vehicles have already parked. Before the departure, I have talked with the driver of the car arriving right after me about today’s weather and the course we choose. Then, we proceed to the different courses. I am walking through a forest zone with a relatively steep slope for a while.

    Next-generation sequencing identies seasonal and geographical differences in the ruminal community composition of sika deer (Cervus nippon) in Japan Shinpei Kawarai ( [email protected] ) Azabu University Kensuke Taira Azabu University Ayako Shimono Toho University Tsuyoshi Takeshita Komoro City Oce Shiro Takeda Azabu University Wataru Mizunoya Azabu University Shigeharu Moriya RIKEN CSRS Masato Minami Azabu University Research Article Keywords: Posted Date: August 6th, 2021 DOI: https://doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.rs-783658/v1 License: This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License. Read Full License Page 1/27 Abstract To understand the nutritional conditions of culled wild sika deer (Cervus nippon) and their suitability as a pet food component, we compared the ruminal community compositions of deer living in different food habitats (Nagano winter, Nagano spring, and Hokkaido winter) using next-generation sequencing. Twenty-nine sika deer were sampled. Alpha and beta diversity metrics determined via 16S and 18S ssrRNA amplicon-seq analysis showed compositional differences. Prevotella, Entodinium, and Piromyces were the dominant genera of bacteria, fungi and protozoa, respectively. Moreover, 66 bacterial taxa, 44 eukaryotic taxa, and 46 chloroplastic taxa were shown to differ signicantly among the groups by linear discriminant analysis effect size (LEfSe). Total RNA-seq analysis showed 397 signicantly differentially expressed transcripts (q < 0.05), of which 258 were correlated with bacterial amplicon-seq results (Pearson correlation coecient > 0.7). The amplicon-seq results indicated that deciduous broadleaf trees and SAR were enriched in Nagano, whereas graminoids, Firmicutes and fungi were enriched in Hokkaido. The ruminal microbial community were corresponded with different food habits, related to the severe snow conditions in Hokkaido in winter and the richness of plants with leaves and acorns in Nagano winter and spring.

ISBN: 978-1-387-70478-1 The BBB website http://thebbb.net/ Hodaka Author Page http://thebbb.net/cast/hodaka.html Episode 006: Mount Aizu-Komagatake Ten days after I climbed Mount Amagi in July 2017, I head for Mount Aizu-Komagatake with an altitude of 2,133 meters in Fukushima Prefecture. Located to the north of Oze National Park, Aizu-Komagatake is a mountain like a paradise because it has grand moors on its summit and is dotted with ponds and alpine plants. The reason for mountaineering at this timing is that the man whom I met at Mount Amagi (refer to Episode 004) said he would climb Mount Aizu-Komagatake on the day. He also said he needed 17 more mountains to conquer all of Japanese 100 Great Mountains. So, I have decided to try to take him by surprise. I come here today to present foods and drinks to him, because he said he would keep climbing in the Kanto region for a while. Access to Mount Aizu-Komagatake is not good. The local streets after I got off the highway continued on and on. I drove two more hours on rural roads and entered Hinoemata Village, which had an atmosphere of Japanese typical hometown. Since I departed Tokyo last night and spent the night in the car, I have arrived at a parking lot beside a starting point of mountaineering before 5 am.
