Machine-translated · View original
A lab that explores the lives of wild animals through field surveys and biologging.
AboutAbout the lab
Understanding the lives of wild animals and working toward coexistence with people.
The Wildlife Science Division (Wildlife Research Center) studies the ecology, behavior, and society of diverse wild animals living on land and in the sea (mammals, birds, and others) through field surveys and laboratory analysis of samples collected in the field.
Combining classical behavioral observation with cutting-edge remote monitoring technologies such as biologging, camera traps, and drones, the division tracks animals in Japan and around the world.
It also studies the relationship between human activities and wild animals, and based on the results aims to conserve habitats and promote better coexistence between people and wildlife.
The division includes research sections of the Wildlife Research Center, such as the Terrestrial Conservation Research Section (Professor Ikki Matsuda).
