Outline of Final Research Achievements

Our study on the chiral dimorphism of the genus Amphidromus discovered that the chiral morphs are positively maintained within populations. One of their predator snakes recognizes and avoid preying on sinistrals that are more difficult and costly to handle, where sinistrals adaptively increased against specialized predation on dextrals by the snakes. As long as the snake strikes, the snake successfully preys on sinistrals by reversing striking behavior. The snake's recognition of prey handedness cannot be explained by snake's learning because dextrals remain predominant in their habitats. Instead, this suggests that the snake coevolved the ability to recognize prey handedness in response to the increase of sinistrals under predation on dextrals by the snake.
