| Research Abstract |
Species diversity of microscopic symbionts living together with insects are not directly affected by ecosystem diversity but directly affected by host species diversity. Difference of conditions in each microhabitat where they live was masked because of their evolutionary adaptations such as phoresy. Thus, for the conservation of the microscopic symbionts, conservation of habitats of their phoretic hosts is crucial.
