Outline of Final Research Achievements

The Japanese Archipelago is one of the biodiversity hotspot, and it is very important to study formative process of the Japanese Fauna. In this study, we focused on several aquatic hemipteran insect species, and compared their population structures and their genetic structures. As a result of this, some unique cases have been gathered such as the “Back dispersal”.
