| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In order to explore the phylogeographic origin and expansion patterns of invasive sweetpotato weevil Cylas formicarius and the bigheaded ant Pheidole megacephala, we conducted field survey mainly in the African Continent and Madagascar, and then performed phylogeographic and network analyses based on molecular genetic data. In C. formicarius, samples from Madagascar constituted monophyletic clade together with those from India, suggesting that the weevils originated in Gondwanaland and then had spread their distribution via conjoined Madagascar and India which had been split off from Gondwanaland. The phylogenetic studies on P. megacephala are ongoing in consideration of the species status and classification.
