  Evolution of reproductive strategies and social behavior in insects

• Overview of the research

  Our research focuses on the social system and evolution of termites. We are primarily interesting in understanding the reproductive mechanism and evolution of chemical communication and defensive strategies against various parasites and predators. We have been characterizing the molecular, physiological, behavioral, and ecological factors that regulate these processes. On the basis of these basic findings of termite biology, we are also developing a novel technology to control termites most effectively by using their social behavior.
  
  Asexual Queen Succession (AQS)
  Many termite species undergo royal succession, in which the primary reproductives who found colonies are replaced by secondary reproductives from within the nest. We found that termites use sexual and asexual reproduction conditionally, where secondary queens were exclusively produced parthenogenetically by the original primary queen, whereas workers and alates were produced by sexual reproduction. By the asexual queen succession, the queen maintains her full genetic contribution to the next generation.
  
  Termite ball: the termite egg mimicking fungi
  Egg protection is one of the most fundamental social behaviors in social insects. We discovered the termite-egg mimicking fungus ‘termite-ball’. Along with their eggs, Reticulitermes termites often harbor sclerotia of the fungus Fibularhizoctonia sp., giving the fungus competitor-free habitat within termite nests. We identified the termite egg-recognition pheromone and revealed the sophisticated morphological and chemical mimicry by the fungus. By using the mechanism of egg mimicry, we developed a novel technology to introduce pesticide into the centre of termite nests and destroy the colonies most efficiently.
  
  Termite queen pheromone
  Recently, we identified a termite queen pheromone that inhibits the differentiation of new neotenic reproductives (secondary queens). This opened new avenues for elucidating the developmental pathways leading to reproductive and non-reproductive castes.
