| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
One of the subtteranean termites, Reticulitermes widely distributed in Japan and is one of the most serious pests of woodworks and buildings in the northern temperate zone. The taxonomic and distributional information of the genus is very important because the control strategy of each species depends on the ecological features of each species. However, absence of the taxonomic information is a cause of the delay for the other studies such as ecology, physiology and so on.
In this study, I analyzed three DNA regions, two mitochondrial and one nuclear DNA, of Japanese Reticulitermes and estimated the molecular phylogeny of Reticulitermes in Japan in order to contribute to the taxonomy of the genus. Additionally, the biogeographical perception will be acquired by combining the data of molecular phylogeny and geology.
