| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The genomic region that determines host-utilization of fig wasps (Agaonidae), which have obligate mutualism with fig trees (Ficus) were investigated. Multiple genomic regions with particularly high genetic differentiation among species were found by comparisons of the closely related species using different host plants (Blastophaga nipponica and B. taiwanensins). There is a possibility that these regions or the flanking regions of them are the genomic regions which determine the host-utilization of these fig wasps.
