Curriculum vitae  (please see the followings)

RESEARCH TOPICS:

I have strong interests in wildlife management for resolving human-wildlife conflicts under rapidly depopulating societies, typically observed in modern Japan. For this purpose, I have emphasized multidisciplinary approaches, including wildlife ecology, forest ecology, and human dimensions (e.g., rural planning, consensus building).

     In addition, I have addressed basic and applied ecology to promote understanding the influence of human demographic changes and extreme climate events observed in modern societies on native ecosystem processes and functions, especially focusing on dynamic alternations of mammal assemblages.

RESEARCH INTERESTS:

artificial plantation management; bioacoustics; biologging; wildlife damage management; ecological rewilding; habitat evaluation; passive acoustic monitoring (PAM); plant-mammal interactions; population monitoring; scavenging; species distribution modelling; species reintroduction

MAIN STUDY FIELDS: 

northeastern Japan, especially Shirakami mountains (Aomori), Asahi-Iide mountains (Yamagta), Hakkoda-Towada mountains (Aomori), and Aizu Highland (Fukushima)

MAIN STUDY SPECIES:

middle to large size mammals (such as Japanese macaque, sika deer, wild boar, and mesocarnivores)
