| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Ant-attended aphids continuously produce honeydew even in summer deteriorate plants. Using molecular technique, this study examined the hypothesis that ant-attended aphids allowed to harbor tannin-degrading symbionts in their guts, and thereby realize season-round honeydew producing, and enable themselves to get continuous ant attendance. Concentration of condensed tannin in Quercus dentata leaves increased with the progressive of season. Tannin-degrading bacteria was not found in ant-attended aphids. Buchnera, Wolbachia, and secondary symbionts were detected in the ant-attended aphids. Although the abundance of Buchnera in aphids did not fluctuate during the season, that of Wolbachia had two peaks in the season.
