Our researches are focus on behavioral ecology. My main interest is in mating system in birds and cuckoo-host interactions in tropical areas. Please check the profile and recent activity for further information.

My research is about mating system in a colony of Bonin flying fox Pteorpus pselaphon and relationship among island plants and the flying foxes. I often conduct research about birds (Japanese White-eye and Brown Booby) too.

My research interest is in animal communication, particularly nocturnal song of birds and its function. I am interested in how/why they communicate with each other at night, such an inaccessible situation.

Hello, my real name is Swamp Eel, Monopterus albus. My favorite food is goldfish. I like to sleep. I'm good at air-breathing like no other fish. I'm very different from River Eel. I feel I want to move to a bigger room than now.
