Outline of Final Research Achievements

A cooperative breeding system was first found in the genus Lepidiolamprologus sp. from sandy bottom in Lake Tanganyika. In this cooperative breeding, it is clearly shown that the helping activities of helper fish reduced the parental care duties. Furthermore, we found a classical polyandry in the cichlid of Julidochromis marlieri first in fish, and quantitatively studied their mating systems. This is the first documentation from fish. Fourteen examples of the classical polyandry were maintained the larger females than monogamous pairs. The large female produced large clutch of eggs but spawned then into two or three nests, which made the “optimal clutch size” resulting in higher survival rates of brood. As such clutch distribution the large polyandrous females might obtain higher reproductive success, and induce this polyandrous mating systems. These studied are followed with molecular data from the fish samples obtained after the field observations.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

特に古典的一妻多夫の実証研究は、魚類では世界でもはじめての成果である。これら一妻多夫はこれまで鳥類からのみ知られているが、その成立についての生態学的要因や性淘汰、雌雄の対立や性役割の逆転現象における比較研究において、まったく新たな分類群との比較になり学術的価値は極めて高い。今のところ、大型雌が多数のクラッチを複数巣に分割産卵する事で、卵の生存率を高め繁殖成功を高めていると推察され、鳥類との類似性と相違性が見え隠れしている。また、今回のL. メーリーの協同繁殖の発見から、魚類の協同繁殖における行動観察や野外実験が質的に異なるほどの精度の高い研究が期待され、この発見の意義は大きい。
