Completed field collections of samples in Towada area. Continued behavioural studies in the laboratory toward production of high impact article on group size effects on collective behaviour (in prep.).Attended the International Conference of the International Union for the study of social insects in Cairns, Australia and presented a study on group size effects on ant behaviour. Following this, visited Flinders University in Adelaide, Australia, for discussions with collaborator Michael Schwarz.Completed genetic component of a study on behavioural variation in Myrmecina with collaborators in Kagawa, Hokkaido, Tokyo and Australia (manuscript in prep).During March 2015 I was an invited researcher at University Pierre et Marie curie in Paris, where, with collaborators Thibaud Monnin and Nicolas Loeuille, we completed a modelling study of ant behaviour (in review in Ecography).Non-renewal of my contract at Iwate University means that the final parts of the project cannot be complete. However, significant data have been accumulated allowing several studies to be written up (currently in progress).

在Towada地区完成了样品的完整现场收集。在实验室中，持续的行为研究旨在生产高影响力对集体行为的影响（在准备中）。参加了澳大利亚凯恩斯国际社会昆虫研究国际会议，并介绍了对群体大小对蚂蚁行为影响的研究。此后，访问了澳大利亚阿德莱德的弗林德斯大学与合作者迈克尔·施瓦茨（Michael Schwarz）进行讨论。尼古拉斯·洛伊尔（Nicolas Loeuille），我们完成了一项对蚂蚁行为的建模研究（在《生态学评论》中）。在iwate University的合同中，我的合同意味着该项目的最后一部分无法完成。但是，已经积累了大量数据，允许写几项研究（目前正在进行中）。
