Hoso Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that unravels the mysteries of evolution through left-right asymmetry in living things.
AboutAbout the lab
Solving evolution through natural history.
The Hoso Lab studies the evolutionary mechanisms that have produced the rich biodiversity we see today.
Evolution is described by the physical processes involved in the inheritance of genetic material, the chance events that accompany them, and the various constraints that arise within the complex system that is life.
Grounded in natural history research based on field observation and specimens, the lab pursues evolutionary biology, with a particular focus on the evolutionary ecology of animals.
A particular focus is left-right asymmetry in body structure and behavior.
Key terms
- Evolutionary ecology
- The field that studies how the relationship between organisms and their environment has shaped the course of evolution
- Natural history
- A research tradition of describing and comparing organisms based on field observation and specimens
- Left-right asymmetry
- A state in which body structure or behavior is not a mirror image between left and right but is biased toward one side
ResearchResearch themes
The Hoso Lab is grounded in natural history research and pursues broad scholarship in evolutionary biology, centered on the evolutionary ecology of animals. It views evolution through three aspects: the physical processes involved in the inheritance of genetic material, the chance that accompanies them, and the constraints that arise within complex systems. It pays special attention to left-right asymmetry in body plans and behavior.
