Kyoto University Wildlife Research Center Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that explores wildlife conservation and welfare through DNA and hormone analysis.
AboutAbout the lab
Protecting wild animals through laboratory analysis.
The Conservation and Welfare Science Division (Wildlife Research Center) studies the ecology, behavior, and society of terrestrial and marine wild animals (mammals, birds, and others), mainly through laboratory work.
Its work includes uncovering genetic diversity and infectious diseases through DNA and parasite analysis, monitoring individual physiology through hormone analysis, and preserving the germ cells of rare species.
Using experimental psychology methods and behavioral observation, it investigates animals' cognitive functions and applies the findings to the welfare and breeding of animals in captivity.
The division includes research sections of the Wildlife Research Center, such as the Animal Welfare Research Section (Prof. Hirata).
