研究開始時の研究の概要 |
This study will compare thermal tolerance in two lineages of native bees in Japan to assess susceptibility of organisms to climate change. We will collect ground nesting and stem nesting species from Hokkaido to Okinawa and compare their tolerance to hot and cold conditions using a laboratory assay.

研究実績の概要 |
For the 2023/2024 fiscal year, the primary goal was to finalize the experimental setup and establish field sites. This involved purchasing the required equipment and carefully designing and preparing the protocol, materials, and conditions required for the project. We contacted Japanese researchers to build collaborative networks across Japan to help with the collection of bees and establish fieldwork sites for the upcoming year. We conducted preliminary fieldwork in Tokashiki, Okinawa to collect bee specimens which were necessary for initially testing and validating the experimental approach.

理由
The project is currently on schedule. The funding allocated for the 2023/2024 fiscal year was used to purchase experimental equipment and establish field sites and collaborations with Japanese researchers for future bee collections. All goal set out for the 2023/2024 fiscal year were achieved.

今後の研究の推進方策 |
The next phase of this research project aims to experimentally test the thermal tolerance of native Japanese bee species. To do this, we will complete extensive fieldwork across multiple regions - Okinawa, Kyushu, Iriomote Island, Tottori, Morioka, and Sapporo - to obtain Ceratina and Lasioglossum bee specimens based on the now established field sites. Critical thermal maximum and minimum experimental assays will be performed to assess the bees' thermal tolerance. The data collected from these experiments will be processed and analyzed. Findings will be synthesized into a manuscript for publication in a peer-reviewed journal. We plan to present this research at one domestic conference.
