[Abstract]

　Genetic variation between and within local populations of three bird species and five mammal species listed in the Red Data Book of Japan was studied to contribute the species conservation. Subject species were Blakiston's fish-owl(Kepta blakistoni ), Japanese crane(Grus japonensis), rock ptermigan(Lagopus mutus), Iriomote cat(Felis bengalensis iriomotensis) and Tsushima cat(F. b. euptilura), Ryukyu and Bonin flying foxes(Pteropus dasymallus and P. pselaphon), and sika deer(Cervus nippon). No variation of mtDNA sequences was found within the populations of K. blakistoni, L. m. japonensis, F. b. iriomotensis and P. dasymallus, suggesting little genetic variety. The results were correlated with ecological characteristics of the subject species, and the research and conservation plan was considered.
