ぼったまトンボ論文が素晴らしいのでネイチャー誌とサイエンス誌に取材をお願いしたメール全文です。

AkikoHS

日本の次世代の天皇とされる方が昨年１１月に発表されたトンボ論文は、世界的発見が満載です。

だというのにこの論文が世界に華々しく紹介されないのは、本当にもったいないし、おかしなこと。。(இдஇ`)。。

というわけで、自然科学のトップ２学術誌と言われるネイチャーとサイエンスへ、釈迦に説法ですでにご存じのこととは思うのですが、念のため、いち国民として取材のお願いメールをいたしました。

グーグル翻訳にかけ、さらに手直ししたとはいえ、何か間違いがあるだろう英語でお恥ずかしいのですが(〃ﾉдﾉ)、賢い編集部の方々は察してくださるに違いないとの希望を持ち、送ったメールの全文を、段落ごとに日本語訳を先に載せながら公開いたします。

悠仁と研究仲間たちは、昨年１１月、トンボに関する論文を発表しました。
(論文リンク）
Hisahito and his fellow researchers published a paper on dragonflies in November last year.

国際昆虫学会議の今年のメインテーマは”New Discoveries through Consilience”(知の統合による新たな発見）ですが、悠仁の論文はまさに”人工物と標本とスタジオ撮影と画像加工と無知との統合による異世界の発見”であるので、ぜひ取材して欲しいです。
The main theme of this year's International Congress of Entomology is "New Discoveries through Consilience ," and Hisahito's paper is truly a "New Discoveries of another world through Consilience of artificial objects, specimens, studio photography, image processing, and ignorance", so I would love for you to cover it.

こちらが、日本の人々が見つけたその異世界トンボの数々をまとめたブログです。
（エトセトラ・ジャパンのトンボ特集リンク）
This is the blog that summarizes many dragonflies from another world that Japanese people have discovered.


論文内の”異世界”を、今も人々は発見し、そのブログへ報告し続けています。
People are still discovering the "another world" within the paper and reporting on the blog.

・写真番号８５、ヨツボシトンボ。論文によると、絶滅危惧Ⅱ類のこのトンボを菖蒲池で奇跡的に発見、撮影したという。だが、写真のトンボの体の先端には丸い穴があり、それは標本を作った時に内臓を取り出したためのものに見える。また、トンボの下の陰は、自然光の元ではこのように真っ黒にはならない。さらに、菖蒲池の周りには、写真にあるような倒木は存在しない。
(エトセトラ・ジャパンリンク）
Photo No.85, Libellula quadrimaculata asahinai Schmidt. According to the paper, this dragonfly, which is classified as endangered, was miraculously discovered and photographed in Shobu Pond.
However, there is a round hole at the tip of the dragonfly's body in the photo, which appears to have been where the internal organs were removed when the specimen was made.
Also, the shadow under the dragonfly would not be as pitch black as this in natural light. Furthermore, there are no fallen trees around the Shobu Pond like those in the photo.

・写真番号４３、マルタンヤンマ。論文には「黄昏時に池の上を飛行中の交尾姿」とあるが、マルタンヤンマの習性は、黄昏前に産卵を済ませるため、交尾はその何時間か前となる。交尾の場所は林の中である。この論文のものは、習性と全く異なる行動により、おそらく世界初の交尾態写真撮影に成功している。
また、メスは、羽を５枚あるいは腹を２つ持つ奇形である。
（エトセトラ・ジャパンリンク）
Photo No.43, Anaciaeschna martini. The paper states that they were "mating while flying over a pond at dusk," however, since the dragonfly's habit is to lay its eggs before dusk, mating actually occurs several hours before that. The mating site is in the forest. The subject of this paper is probably the first in the world to have been photographed mating, due to the behavior that is completely different from their usual habits.
Also, the female is deformed, having five wings or two abdomens.

https://etcetera-japan.com/normal-anaciaeschna-martini-has-four-wings


・写真番号７４、コシアキトンボ。「羽化」とあるが、コシアキトンボの羽化の特徴は、倒垂型(オーバーハングの場所でヤゴ殻にしがみつき、仰向けで羽を垂らして乾かす）で、時刻は早朝。これらの習性を全て無視している。（エトセトラ・ジャパンリンク）
Photo No.74, Pseudothemis zonata. Although it is called ``emergence'', the characteristic of the emergence of the dragonfly is that it is a drooping type (it clings to the larval shell in an overhanging place and hangs its wings to dry while lying on its back), and it occurs early in the morning. The paper ignores all of their habits.

素人でさえ少し調べたらわかることも知らず、論文で発表してしまった研究者たちには呆れるばかりですね？
Isn't it just amazing how the researchers published the paper without knowing things that even amateurs could find out with a little research?


そのブログから、明らかな異世界、つまり捏造や無知がはっきりわかるものを以下に列挙します。
Below is a list of some of the obvious otherworldly things from that blog, clearly demonstrating fabrication and ignorance.


＊注。ここからしばらくは、私が以前、研究公正世界会議などへ送ったもののコピー(と各リンク）なので、日本語訳は☟の中ほどあたりをご覧ください。


https://etcetera-japan.com/was-the-sympecma-paedisca-lively-or-not
Photo No.19, Sympecma paedisca. (The highlight of this paper is the discovery of this, an endangered species in the Tokyo area. )
The dragonfly's belly droops and its legs are curled up as if it were dead.
https://etcetera-japan.com/was-the-sympecma-paedisca-lively-or-not-2
The hind leg is floating (doesn't catch the grass). The front legs are unnaturally crossed. It looks like its body is being supported by the grass.

These discoveries sparked her blog readers to begin scrutinizing the paper.
They started to report their findings to her:

https://etcetera-japan.com/several-strange-objects-on-and-by-the-sympecma-paedisca
Photo No.19. There are 2 "artificial terminal" in the neck area. The base of the wings and neck are discolored black. It uses something like a specimen needle to prevent the dragonfly from falling over.

https://etcetera-japan.com/there-might-be-more-strings-than-we-thought
Photo No.19. A white thread is stretched around the dragonfly, and there are also knots. There is also a specimen needle on the rectangular white object attached to hide the tip of the tail.

https://etcetera-japan.com/was-the-orthetrum-albistylum-speciosum-pair-alive-or-not
Photo No.82. The male's legs don't grip anything. Three thin rod-like objects can be seen between the dragonflies' bodies and the ground.

https://etcetera-japan.com/a-wing-of-the-male-dragonfly-is-broken-on-picture-82
Photo No.82. The female's wing veins are severed and her wing is broken. After mating, she has to slam her tail on the water surface to lay eggs, so why do they mate on grass or dead grass where their wings get damaged? Additionally, two specimen needle-like things can be seen on this female's body.

https://etcetera-japan.com/prince-hisahito-mistakes-a-male-dragonfly-for-a-female
Photo No.18. The gender of the dragonfly in the description is incorrect.
Photo No.19. The plant name for the location described is incorrect.

https://etcetera-japan.com/mr-s-got-answers-from-national-museum-of-nature-and-sciencetokyo
A person asked the National Museum of Nature and Science, which reviewed and published the paper: According to the past newspaper report, during his research period, Hisahito created rice fields and released dragonfly larvae and killifish for food. Isn't this considered “releasing insects” which is prohibited?
The National Museum of Nature and Science answered: It has been confirmed that the new species were not artificially added from outside the Akasaka Imperial Land, and that there is little impact on the number of dragonfly species in the ``Dragonfly Fauna of the Akasaka Imperial Land''.

https://etcetera-japan.com/photo-58-scotch-tapeed-on-the-right-side
Photo No.58. A piece of Scotch tape is pasted from under the dragonfly's chest to the other side, and the bottom end of the tape is attached to the grass stalk to prevent the dragonfly from flying away.

https://etcetera-japan.com/strange-joint-and-leg-seen-on-photo-52-ictinogomphus-pertinax
Photo No.52. The dragonfly does not hold on to the grass with its own legs, but has extra artificial leg and joint.

https://etcetera-japan.com/photo-55-on-hisahitos-paper-has-many-strange-points
Photo No.66. The photo description says: 66: Akiakane ♀ emergence (Kyou rice field, 2022/07/02). But the larva shell is not of Akiakane. Also the background has lots of space though it should be full of rice leaves those days. (It also contradicts photo No.12.) The wing of Akiakane on the photo is different from real Akiakane. At the tip of its tail, there is a hole that is drilled to remove internal organs for specimen making.

https://etcetera-japan.com/was-the-photo-66-really-taken-on-july-22nd-2022
Photo No.66. Judging from the state of the rice, the photo was taken after July 20th, and July 2nd is impossible.

https://etcetera-japan.com/is-an-insect-pin-on-akiakanes-back-in-photo-no66%e3%80%80
Photo No.66. The head of a black insect pin can be seen on the back of the Akiakane.

https://etcetera-japan.com/hisahito-does-not-know-what-the-akiakane-dragonfly-larva-looks-like
Photo No.66. The actual color of the newly emerged Akiakane and the shape of larva shell are very different from Photo No.66.

https://etcetera-japan.com/hisahitos-photo-73-and-two-photos-found-on-the-internet-look-so-much-alike
Photo No.73. The photo description says it's a Koshiaki dragonfly, but the actual wings of Koshiaki dragonfly don't look like this.

https://etcetera-japan.com/hisahitos-paper-photo-no22-might-be-photoshopped
Photo No.22. They manipulate the photo by playing around with the tone curve in Photoshop. For Example Springer Nature Group has the policy to keep image processing to a minimum and submit images that reflect the original image.

https://etcetera-japan.com/same-strange-objects-on-dragonflies-no33-and-62
Photo No.33. There is an artificial thing (similar to No.19) on the tip of 2 legs.

https://etcetera-japan.com/orthetrum-sabina-sabina-and-orthetrum-albistylum-speciosum-are-quite-different
There are mistakes in the scientific name of dragonflies. This means that there are southern dragonflies that are not supposed to be in Tokyo.(About Photo No. 81, 82, 77, and 78)

https://etcetera-japan.com/mr-s-was-given-the-runaround-seeking-the-right-answers
Some one complained to the National Museum of Nature and Science, the Agency for Cultural Affairs, and the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology about the fraud in this paper, but just get the runaround from them.
Even if we ask questions, they keep ignoring us.
People sent questions by email to Takuya Kiyoshi the corresponding author, too, but no correspondence from him.

＊注。上の一段落だけ、以下に日本語訳を再掲します：

この論文の不正について国立科学博物館、文化庁、文部科学省に苦情を申し立てた人がいますが、たらい回しにされるばかりです。質問しても無視され続けます。
連絡著者の清拓哉氏にもメールで質問が送られましたが、返信はありません。


つまり、これらの不思議なトンボたちは人類未踏の新発見だということです。ぜひ取材し、全世界へ紹介してください。
In other words, these mysterious dragonflies are a new discovery that has never been seen before by humans. Please cover them and share them with the world.
