Current research interest<\/h2>\n
Evolutionary and community ecology of predator and prey interactions I have a strong interest in topics relating to predator and prey interactions. In my earlier research, I studied\u00a0phenotypic plasticity in predator and prey species from an adaptationist perspective. Recently, most of my research effort involves exploring the impacts of individual phenotypes on predator-prey interactions and the effects of those interactions on\u00a0population- and community-level properties. At present, I primarily study freshwater communities in forest ecosystems by\u00a0conducting manipulative experiments both in the laboratory and in the field. In particular, I have been focusing on the intriguing life histories of salamander larvae (Hynobius retardatus<\/em>) and frog tadpoles (Rana pirica<\/em>). In my work, I have been fortunate in having the opportunity to colluborate with many fine scientists, and I have also had many able student helpers in my lab. To improve our understanding of the nature of predator-prey interactions and contribute further to the field of animal ecology, I\u00a0hope to conduct many amazing field experiments in the experimental forest of Hokkaido University\u00a0with\u00a0 students in my lab and my great collaborators.<\/p>\nPositions<\/h2>\n\n- 1999-2002 \u00a0Staff member at Otaru Aquarium, Hokkaido\u00a0(worked with fish, amphibians,aquatic insects, and mammal)<\/li>\n
