Research Interests
- Parasite-mediated energy flow and their effects on community/ ecosystem processes
- Temporal resource fluxes and their effects on community/ ecosystem processes
to be filled
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.
I would like to thoroughly elucidate interesting life phenomena, believing that interesting phenomena must have interesting principles.
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.
I'd like to use large-scale field research and family tree analysis using SNP to find out how many children Amago, which have diverse lifestyles, actually have left behind.
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.
Night ecology
Life history variation and its spatial heterogeneity in riverscape
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.
I will support the activities of the laboratory to proceed smoothly!
I will energize the laboratory with my own brightness!
