Outline of Final Research Achievements

Insects are the most diverse organisms and one of the most abundant terrestrial animals. Despite this, the feeding habits of most insect species are poorly understood. This study examined the species composition of ants, dung beetles, and collembolans and the functional traits (feeding habits) through measurements of carbon and nitrogen isotopes in Japanese forests. I also investigated the relationships between the characteristics of these insects and abiotic and biotic factors in the forest sites. The results showed that the species compositions are influenced strongly by abiotic factors such as mean annual temperature and partly by soil properties. The isotopic results showed that each species has specific traits related to feeding habits, and the traits are associated with the abiotic factors as well as plant trait diversity in the study sites.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究の結果、対象とした昆虫は種ごとに異なる食性を持っていることが明らかとなった。このことは生態系において種ごとに異なる機能を持っていることを意味している。また、昆虫の種組成や食性は年平均気温との関連が見られた。以上のことは、現在多くの地域で見られている昆虫の種多様性の減少や温暖化は、昆虫が果たしている生態系機能に影響する可能性があることを示唆している。気象条件などのモニタリングと同様、昆虫の群集組成の多地点や長期モニタリングや、種ごとの同位体組成のデータベースの構築を行うことで、生態系の現状把握と将来予測の向上に貢献できると考えられる。
