Outline of Final Research Achievements |
During3 year study period, we intensively investigated at Kyushu and Southern islands in Japan. We found some new species of micro-Lepidoptera and revealed the ecology of some Coleoptera. Members of our team allayed stable isotope and revealed the pattern of the food chain in symbiotic insects in bird nest. A meeting was held at Kyushu University. 35 people who are entomologists and ornithologists attended the meeting. Such a corroboration between entomologists and ornithologists is very useful for both discipline.
