Kyoto University Center for Ecological Research Lab (Hiroshi Kudoh)
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that explores everything from relationships between plants and other organisms to whole ecosystems.
AboutAbout the lab
Understanding ecosystems through the connections among living things.
Ecological Science II at the Center for Ecological Research covers plants, animals, and microbes, dealing with relationships within and between species, ecosystems, and the global environment.
Using molecular biology methods, theory, and experiments, the lab studies how plants behave in response to the seasons, their reproductive ecology, the diversity of interactions among organisms, and the dynamics of populations and communities.
Key terms
- Phenology
- Seasonal events in living things, such as flowers blooming or leaves emerging.
- Phenotypic plasticity
- When organisms with the same genes show different forms or traits depending on the environment.
- Biotic interactions
- The ways organisms relate to each other, such as eating and being eaten, helping each other, or competing.

*Illustrative imagePlant Phenology and Local Adaptation
The lab uses molecular biology methods to study plant phenology, reproductive ecology, phenotypic plasticity, and local adaptation (Kudoh).
*Illustrative imagePopulation and Community Theory
Taking the evolutionary aspects of organisms into account, the lab uses theoretical methods to clarify the dynamics and properties of populations and biological communities (Yamauchi).
*Illustrative imageDiversity of Biotic Interactions
The lab uses molecular approaches, including next-generation sequencing, to clarify the diversity of interactions among organisms and the mechanisms that maintain it (Honjo).
*Illustrative imageExperiments on Biotic Interactions and Evolution
Targeting diverse interactions among organisms, such as those between plants and between plants and animals, the lab uses experiments to explore patterns of evolution and functions in ecosystems (Yamawo).
