I am actively seeking any collaboration opportunities with the following keywords:
- Forest Ecosystems - Climate Change Impacts - Biodiversity - Birds / Mammals / Insects - Species Conservation - Framland and Urban Landscapes - Habitat Fragmentation - Ecological Rewilding - Ecosystem Management, etc. |
Potential topics I am interested (not limited to these, open to diverse themes):
Forest Ecology - Impacts of climate change on forest ecosystems and biodiversity - Nature-based climate solutions (NbS) and mitigation strategies - Relationships between tree diversity, functional traits, and ecosystem functioning - Structural diversity of forests, including tree size, height, and shape - Studies on "wildlife trees", such as coarse woody debris, standing deadwoods, tree cavities, etc. Wildlife Ecology and Conservation - Impacts of human activities and environmental changes (such as land abandonment and forest management) on biodiversity in agricultural and satoyama landscapes - Impacts of habitat fragmentation on wildlife diversity - Land sparing and sharing - Species ecology of farmland birds - Avian biology using voice recorders - Species ecology of mammalian carnivores or mesopredators such as martens and foxes - Behavioral research on mammals (such as deer) using camera traps - Biodiversity of beetles and butterflies in relation to habitat environment Collaboration with research institutes and museums in Japan and abroad can be actively pursued to enhance research opportunities and partnerships in various topics |
