Mechanisms of ecology and evolution of wild animals
From Hokkaido to the rest of the world, we aim to elucidate how life should live in harmony with nature and the mechanism for maintaining diversity. One of our major goals is to return the knowledge gained through the power of science to society in the field of wildlife conservation.
Research goal
Wild animals are greatly influenced by the environment as they nurture their lives. Their existence is closely related to our lives, but there are still many mysteries about the formation of their ecosystems and biodiversity. In this laboratory, we aim to explore how these wild animals live in the natural world, how they have survived, and how they are related to human activities from the perspectives of ecology, evolution, genetics, and conservation. and
The professor likes fishes of the Salmonidae family, which is unparalleled, but the themes chosen by the laboratory members are not only fish, but also mammals, birds, and invertebrates. In the open environment of Hokkaido University, we will develop research that makes use of free ideas, international perspectives, and the surrounding nature.
