| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we first published an overview titled "Survival strategies of large dung beetles through the transformation of satochi-satoyama ecosystems" in the journal "Insects and Nature," and a paper on entomophagy and the location of local markets in Plos One. In 2021, we also delivered a lecture at Kyushu University to discuss entomophagy. As the impact of COVID-19 decreased in the latter half of 2022, we conducted a survey on entomophagy sales in local markets in Laos and commissioned the National University of Laos to assist in the survey. After collecting one year's worth of data, we plan to analyze the information regarding changes in insects sold in local markets in Vientiane and write a paper on the findings.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
将来の食糧危機への懸念が高まる中、昆虫を代替食として注目される状況において本研究は行われており、非常にタイムリーな取り組みであった考える。しかしながら新型コロナウィルス感染症の影響により、研究の主たる部分の実施が叶わず、現地視察程度で終わらざるを得なかったことは非常に残念である。
大型糞虫類の分布域が人々の生活とどのように関連しているのかについては、引き続き時期を見つけ、研究を進めたいと考える。
