Recent Activities
I have a broad range of interests including: connectivity of freshwater streams and the influence of small weirs on freshwater biodiversity, development of an epigenetic method for determining the age of Japanese eels, exploring how mountain ranges in Japan might contribute to the evolution and maintenance of freshwater biodiversity, and the role of fish microbiomes in the evolution, adaptation, invasiveness and resilience of the host fish.
