Outline of Final Research Achievements

In the bicolored false blister beetles Oedemera sexualis (Coleoptera, Oedemeridae), males possess swollen femora of the hind legs and use their hind legs to control resistant females during their mating attempts. Male hind femora show a latitudinal cline, becoming stouter at lower latitudes. However, some populations on the Amami Islands constitute significant outliers from the cline with exceptionally narrow male hind femora. We conducted mating experiments and detected different selection pressures on male morphologies among different populations; males with larger hind legs had higher mating success in the Naruto and Yonaguni populations, whereas males with slender hind legs were more successful in the Amami population. In the phylogenetic analysis, it has been revealed that all individuals including Amami population possessing thin femurs had directly derived from the lineages of thick femurs.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究は,雌雄の交尾をめぐる対立によりメスの激しい抵抗とオスの発達した後脚が共進化したことを明らかにした。このような例はこれまでに報告がなく,昆虫の形態の進化に関して新たな知見をもたらした。また緯度が低い個体群ほど後脚が太くなることは,性選択が生態学的要因によって大きく影響されることを示している。さらに,系統解析によりオス後脚が極端に細い奄美個体群がオス後脚が発達した個体群から二次的に派生したこと,奄美個体群では性選択の方向が逆であることがわかった。これはいったん発達した性的形質が性選択の変化により二次的に消失した可能性を示唆しており,性的形質の進化についての新たな可能性を示すものである。
