Research Abstract

Ecological adaptation mechanisms were examined in the following two coevolutionary aspects, focusing on semiochemical factors associated with interactions between insects and plants. 1) Antagonistic coevolution ? Swallowtail butterflies recognize host plants with a complex mixture of specific plant metabolites both in oviposition and larval feeding processes. Relationships between taste perception and host adaptation mechanisms were examined using an ectrophysiological technique. 2) Mutualistic coevolution ? Fruit fly orchids in the genus Bulbophyllum attract Bactrocera fruit fly species for pollination using specific phenylpropanoid volatiles. An adaptation mechanism was proposed in the process of speciation via floral synomones.
