I study the mechanisms that generate and maintain intraspecific life-history variation in wild populations such as salmonids. I often use field experiments and genomics to answer the questions.

My research aim is to accumulate basic and accurate biological knowledge about freshwater horsehair worms, which are endoparasites on arthropods, and thereby develop an information base on their natural history and parasite ecology.
Ryosuke Tanaka (Graduate student, D4)
Research Interests
I study how diverse amphidromous fishes affect a structure and maintenance of river ecosystem as the interaction between marine and river, using a field survey and isotope analysis.

Research Interests
I seek to empirically investigate how light cycles driven by solar and lunar rhythms influence communities, using field observations and experimental approaches.
Ayumi Imagawa (Graduate student, M1）
Research Interests
In ecosystems, different habitats are distributed in a continuous mosaic, each hosting distinct communities of organisms. I am interested in how the biomass structure of organisms differs among these habitats, and how the connections between them support the ecosystem as a whole. Changes in these spatial linkages may underlie shifts we perceive as “a decline in fish populations.”

Taichi Yamashita(Graduate student , M1)
Research Interests
In populations of Oncorhynchus masou ishikawae living in a dammed lake watershed, a distinct life history has emerged that is not observed in those migrating to the sea.I am researching the mechanisms that maintain this novel life history and its impact on population dynamics. I am particularly interested in the impacts of humans on ecosystems and in theoretical ecology.
Sho Fujita(Undergraduate student, B4)
Research Interests
I am currently studying brook trout and brown trout populations in Massachusetts, USA, to investigate the mechanisms of organismal movement and the underlying factors.
