Morphological Taxonomy Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that studies taxonomy, phylogeny, and conservation genetics, focusing on reptiles.
AboutAbout the lab
Exploring reptile diversity through morphology and genes.
Prof. Honda's lab studies taxonomy, molecular phylogenetics, and conservation genetics of organisms, focusing on reptiles.
Its research topics include reptile taxonomy based on morphological data, molecular phylogenetics and biogeography of reptiles and birds, and conservation genetics of reptiles and amphibians.
In collaboration with researchers at other universities, the lab has studied how the Okinawan tree lizard, a domestic non-native species in Japan, affects native ecosystems in areas where it has expanded its range.
Prof. Honda is listed as a faculty member in the Systematics and Evolution field of the graduate school's Degree Program in Biology (Master's and Doctoral programs).
Key terms
- Okinawan tree lizard
- A lizard species that is non-native within Japan, with an introduced population on Yakushima
ResearchResearch themes
Prof. Honda studies taxonomy, molecular phylogenetics, and conservation genetics, focusing on reptiles, in the Systematics and Evolution field of the Degree Program in Biology. This field provides education and research that advance understanding of the phylogenetic relationships and diversity of organisms and develop the ability to study diverse biological phenomena from an evolutionary perspective.
