AboutAbout the lab
Unraveling the connections among living things
The Itioka Lab specializes in ecology, entomology, and evolutionary biology, and studies the interactions among organisms that form a web across biological communities.
The lab aims to understand what these interactions have meant for evolution and how they contribute to maintaining biodiversity and the functioning of ecosystems.
Undergraduates join the Earth and Life Environment Course to carry out their graduation research (for graduate school, the Earth and Life Environment Course in the Department of Human and Environmental Studies, Graduate School of Human and Environmental Studies).
Key terms
- Biodiversity
- The existence of many different kinds of living things that are connected to one another
- Life history
- How an organism lives its life, from birth through growth to producing offspring
ResearchResearch themes
The lab studies the characteristics and roles of interactions between species from the perspectives of evolution, biodiversity, and ecosystem functioning.
