Im interested in life-history strategies of insects, especially on their behavioral responses to the living environments. My current research focuses on the tunnel excavation behavior of the Formosan subterranean termite. Using individually marked termites and video recording, individual participation in tunnel excavation was explored and quantified. I also involve in studies of termites tunneling responses to soil irregularity and pre-formed tunnel in cooperation with Dr. Sang-Hee Lee, and the selective impact of carbon-nitrogen ratio in food on the caste development of termites in cooperation with Dr. Yutaka Kobayashi.
