Acknowledgements

I would like to express the most profound appreciation to my supervisor Prof. Takema

Fukatsu for his kind support, encouragement, and advise throughout my PhD course. I

would also like to extend my deepest gratitude to Dr. Ryo Futahashi for his supervision.

My success and great experience would not have been possible without their support and

mentoring.

I also thank Dr. Minoru Moriyama for his support during my PhD course including

pigment analysis by LC-MS and RNA-sequencing data analysis. I thank Drs. Mayako

Kutsukake, Ryuichi Koga, Akiko Koto, Kohei Oguchi, and other members of the Fukatsu

laboratory for the helpful discussion and assistance.

I thank Dr. Mizuko Osanai-Futahashi for providing the chemical structure diagrams used

in this study, and Drs. Ryouka Kawahara-Miki, Shunsuke Yajima, and Kazutoshi

Yoshitake for analysis of RNA-sequencing data. I also thank Sayumi Oishi, Mutsumi

Sakurai and Naoto Motoyama for feeding damselfly larvae when I had to be away of lab,

Misa Shinya for helpful assistance, and Motoharu Fukui, Hiroyuki Futahashi, Naoki

Futahashi, Bin Hirota, Hiroyuki Koga, Akira Kotabe, Sae Nomura, Jun Okude, Akira

Ozono, Mika Sugimura, Mitsutoshi Sugimura and Ryutaro Suzuki for collecting Odonata

larvae and providing Odonata photos.

Finally, I am deeply indebted to my parents who allowed me to study further in graduate

school with their support and encouragement throughout my graduate course.
