| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The main themes of this project are the evaluation of mechanisms maintaining the biodiversity of assemblage among the plant-herbivore-natural enemies at the forest and glass-land ecosystems. The mechanism of maintaining biodiversity in herbivore assemblages were examined along the gradient of herbivore guilds which are known to varied in the sensitivity to the effect of host plant species. The targeted systems were forest and glass-land ecosystems, and the scale of assemblages were varied among herbivore assemblage as a whole to the Caloptilia moths on Acer tree species, which should suitable for evaluating the mutualistic interaction between plants and herbivores and simultaneously stochastics demographic effects on the assemblages.
