Natural History Science and Biodiversity Science Lab (Eijiroh Nishi)
Machine-translated · View original
The lab explores the reality of biodiversity through studies of polychaete worms (ragworms) living on tidal flats and in shallow seas.
AboutAbout the lab
Understanding the true state of living organisms and nature
In this lab, Professor Eijiroh Nishi conducts research to understand the true state of living organisms and the natural environment.
The lab collects basic data that informs nature conservation and environmental education, and aims to do research that lets people picture the real state of the natural environment and biodiversity.
In the researcher directory, the research keywords include polychaetes (ragworms), tidal flat biology, and systematic taxonomy.
In the Science specialization of the Faculty of Education, students are assigned to a lab in their second year, and a senior thesis presentation is held in the fourth year.
Key terms
- Polychaetes
- A group of annelid worms that includes ragworms (gokai) and isome. Some species are used as fishing bait.
- Description of a new species
- Determining that a species is new through observation of external morphology, DNA analysis, and other methods, and publishing it in a scientific journal.
ResearchResearch themes
The lab aims to understand the true state of living organisms and the natural environment, and to collect basic data that informs nature conservation and environmental education. Centering on polychaetes such as ragworms that live on tidal flats and in shallow seas, it carries out taxonomic research to identify species.
Basic data on the natural environment and biodiversity
The lab seeks to understand the true state of living organisms and the natural environment, and collects basic data that informs nature conservation and environmental education. It aims to do research that lets people picture the real state of the natural environment and biodiversity.
Diversity of ragworms used as fishing bait
The lab conducts basic research to clarify the diversity of polychaetes sold as fishing bait, with the goal of contributing to the conservation of their habitats. By examining bait worms bought commercially or collected in the field through observation of external morphology and DNA analysis, it has published taxonomic studies of Uchiwa-gokai and Akamushi, which are also designated as endangered species.
Classification of ragworms and discovery of new species
The lab examines ragworms collected on tidal flats and in shallow seas through observation of external morphology and DNA analysis, and describes new species. Off the Iburi region of Hokkaido, it described a new species of the family Sabellariidae that forms aggregations large enough to cover artificial reefs, and also reported on its reproduction and early development.
