Welcome
We use state-of-the art techniques and a variety of model systems to study the operation, evolution, ecology, and development of life. This knowledge can be applied to solve health issues, manage food and natural resources, and protect the environment, making a major contribution to human society.

Research Laboratories
PLANT ECOLOGY (Jun-ichiro Suzuki)
Our research aims to understand the various ecological phenomena involving plants at various temporal and spatial scales. In addition to field research (e.g. Northern Yatsugatake Mountains), we also focus on experimental research using greenhouses, fields and growth chambers, and theoretical studies.
SYSTEMATIC ZOOLOGY (Katsuyuki Eguchi)
The Earth is an extremely rich and diverse organism, and there is still plenty to discover. We study various terrestrial invertebrates such as bees, beetles, spiders, centipedes, and jassids. We are studying species diversity (including describing new species) and the evolutionary history of these organisms.
SYSTEMATIC BOTANY (Koji Takayama and Hidetoshi Kato)
We study biodiversity of wild plants. We clarify what kind of species are growing on the earth, how they have been formed through evolution, how they grow and reproduce in nature. Our studies are also useful for their conservation.
