Yahata Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that explores evolutionary history by comparing the morphology of arthropods.

AboutAbout the lab
Uncovering evolutionary history through morphological comparison.
The Yahata Lab focuses mainly on arthropods, and aims to understand their diversity and evolutionary history through approaches such as comparing morphology.
In the faculty introduction of the College of Biological Sciences at the University of Tsukuba, the specialty is given as animal systematics and the research content as comparative morphology of myriapods, a group of arthropods.
The lab's website lists research that clarifies the structure of the ovary and the process of egg formation, as well as the structure involved in autotomy.
Key terms
- Comparative morphology
- A field of research that compares the shapes and structures of organisms' bodies across species to explore evolutionary history.
- Systematics (taxonomy)
- The discipline that organizes organisms based on their evolutionary pathways (phylogeny) and distinguishes species.
- Autotomy
- The act of an animal detaching part of its own body by itself.
