Research Field

Benthology, Deep-sea Biology, Molecular ecology

Research Subject

Genetic structures of marine species in coastal areas around Japan, Formation process of deep-sea fauna of the Japan Sea, ecology and conservation of deep-sea chemosynthesis-based communities

Current Research

In order to obtain useful information for conservation of biodiversity of marine organisms, I analyzed ecology and evolution of benthic species distributed from the coastal to deep-sea areas using nucleotide sequences of DNAs and microsatellites as genetic makers.
