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
ANIMAL ECOLOGY (Adam L. Cronin, Yu Okamura)
The Animal Ecology lab at TMU uses experimental, observational, and theoretical approaches to investigate the behaviour, ecology and evolution of animals and animal-plant interactions.
SYSTEMATIC ZOOLOGY (Katsuyuki Eguchi, Kenta Sugiura)
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, jassids, and tardigrades. We are studying species diversity (including describing new species) and the evolutionary history of these organisms.
SYSTEMATIC BOTANY (Koji Takayama, Hidetoshi Kato, Tao Fujiwara)
We study biodiversity of wild plants. We explore what kind of species grow on Earth, how they have evolved over time, and how they grow and reproduce in nature. Our research area also contributes to their conservation.
