Abstract:
:The 2011 Tohoku earthquake drastically changed human activities in some regions of Fukushima Prefecture, Japan. The subsequent tsunami damage and radioactive pollution from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant resulted in the evacuation of humans, and abandonment of agricultural lands, allowing population expansion of wildlife into areas formally inhabited by domesticated livestock. Unintentional escape of domesticated pigs into wildlife inhabited environments also occurred. In this study, we tested the possibility of introgression between wild boar and domesticated pigs in Fukushima and neighboring prefectures. We analyzed mitochondrial DNA sequences of 338 wild boar collected from populations in the Tohoku region between 2006 and 2018. Although most boar exhibited Asian boar mitochondrial haplotypes, 18 boar, phenotypically identified as wild boar, had a European domesticated pig haplotype. Frequencies of this haplotype have remained stable since first detection in 2015. This result infers ongoing genetic pollution in wild boar populations from released domesticated pigs. In 2018, this haplotype was detected outside of evacuated areas, suggesting migration and successful adaptation. The natural and anthropocentric disasters at Fukushima gave us the rare opportunity to study introgression processes of domestic genes into populations of wild boar. The present findings suggest a need for additional genetic monitoring to document the dispersal of domestic genes within wild boar stock.
