| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study focused on body shape in animal. We conducted on the following investigations with the male beetle. We first examined how body shape change affects individual fitness with ecological approach. In addition, we second examined how body shape change is regulated with molecular approach. Using a part of these results, we published several peer reviewed papers with scientific journals.
