Notes

Acknowledgments

We thank K. Nogami for help with fieldwork, K. Ohkuma for obtaining the sampling permit issued by the Governor of Hokkaido, Mr. Konishi for granting permission to enter the state forest, and M. Otsuki for her critical readings of an earlier version of the manuscript. This study was conducted based on a joint research agreement between Hokkaido University and the Hokkaido National Fisheries Research Institute, Fisheries Research Agency.
