  　View Summary

  <p>Differences in understanding and interest about scientific topics between male and female children may reflect the characteristics of the region and school to which they belong. However, due to the lack of available information on this topic, the discussion remains inconclusive. This study reports on the difference in the characteristics between genders about the perception of science and mathematics among junior high schools in Okinawa. A questionnaire survey on eight affective perceptions of science and mathematics was conducted among first-year junior high school students enrolled in five junior high schools and a special science education program of a university in Okinawa. The two main results were as follows: (1) Differences of levels between genders about the perception of science and mathematics was found among schools; (2) Across the eight items examined, the items in which bias was found varied across schools. These results indicate the need to design future gender education programs that are tailored to the characteristics of individual schools and communities.</p>

  <title>Abstract</title>Sex allocation is one of the most studied traits in evolutionary biology because its theoretical predictions match the empirical data. Here, using the Ryukyu dry-wood termite <italic>Neotermes sugioi</italic>, we investigated several factors that could bias the sex allocation in three populations (Okinawa, Ishigaki/Iriomote, and Yonaguni). Our survey showed that there were more queen-only colonies than king-only colonies in these populations, suggesting a longer lifespan of the queens than that of the kings. In this condition, sex-asymmetric reproductive value (SRV) theory predicts female bias, because even after the short-lived kings die, the long-lived queens can continue reproduction with their sons. However, sex allocation in this species seemed to be biased toward males. Furthermore, we examined the possibility of intrasexual competition among siblings (ICS). If ICS is the cause of the bias, the allocation is expected to change depending on the total investment in sexual offspring. However, the biomass of both male and female alates increased linearly with the increase in the total biomass of the alates in these populations. Thus, neither the SRV nor the ICS theory could explain the male-biased sex ratio of <italic>N. sugioi</italic>. On the basis of these results, we discuss the remaining possibilities in this species.
