Izumi Okane, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Plant Parasitic Mycology lab (Associate Professor Izumi Okane) studies endophytic fungi and rust fungi. The lab's research covers the taxonomy of these fungi, as well as ecological studies of them. On the faculty list of the College of Biological Sciences, the lab is classified under agriculture and forestry. In the lab introductions, it is listed under "Applied Biology", a field category used in high school textbooks.
Kazumu Kuramitsu, Assistant Professor

The Applied Zoology and Entomology lab studies the life-history strategies of parasitoid insects, including parasitoid wasps, and their interactions with host organisms. The lab discovered that even when a wasp lays eggs in an insect that is not its host, parasitism can succeed if a wasp of a different species lays eggs at the same time, and named this mode of parasitism "pirate parasitism". It has been reported that plant fungicides, which protect crops from disease, cause parasitism failure in parasitoid wasps, and the lab is also working to clarify the actual situation and the mechanism behind it. The lab also conducts surveys to clarify the insect fauna of regions across Japan.
Wood Matthew Christopher, Assistant Professor

The Marine Biology and Science Communication (Matthew Christopher Wood) lab studies science communication, that is, how to convey scientific content to people. Among the papers listed in the researcher directory are ones that deal with how figures are read and how that relates to the context and emotions surrounding the figures. There is also a paper that considers, using examples from Japan, the possibility of using anthropomorphism in communicating science. The lab has also published books and papers on how to develop communication skills in students who study science.
Wan Yi Lee, Project Assistant Professor

The Foraging Ecology Lab (Project Assistant Professor Wan Yi Lee) studies the gut microbiota of non-human primates and its fermentation capacity. It is listed under Systematics and Evolution on the faculty list of the College of Biological Sciences.
Louis J Irving, Assistant Professor
0 student voices
Irving Lab studies how plants interact with their biotic and abiotic environments, using ecophysiological approaches. Various stresses, such as drought, nutrient deficiency, disease, and parasites, limit plant productivity. The research falls into three themes: plant parasitism, regulation of growth under resource-limited conditions, and seed germination and establishment.
