Brief profile
I am Professor Emeritus of the University of Tokyo and Visiting Professor
at Keio University. I received a Ph.D. in the ecological and morphological
studies of island birds from the University of Tokyo. I served as a visiting
research scientist at the University of Michigan and as Full Professor
of Biodiversity Science at the University of Tokyo. I am interested in
various aspects of Ecology and Conservation Biology, ranging from island
biology and bird migration through the conflicts between crows and humans
to the impact of climate change on birds and plants. I served as the Asian
Section President of the Society for Conservation Biology and the President
of the Ornithological Society of Japan.

Research interests
I am interested in various aspects of the evolution, ecology and conservation
of biodiversity. My main research target is birds, and research subjects
are grouped into six: 1) island biology, 2) adaptations for brood parasitism
in cuckoos, 3) origin and development of intelligent behavior of birds,
4) ecology and conservation of migratory birds based on satellite tracking,
5) conflicts between wildlife and humans, and 6) impacts of climate change
on biodiversity.
1) In the study of island biology, I compared the breeding and foraging
ecology between the mainland and island populations of varied tits, Parus varius. It was shown that the island population has smaller clutch size
and the exaggerated begging behavior of young than do the mainland population
and that such differences are related to the difference in the seasonal
fluctuation of food sources between the two populations (lower on the island).
I also studied the species composition of woodpeckers in each of the Japanese Islands, and discussed the results in relation to the size and remoteness of islands
and the presence and absence of closely related species.
2) In the study of brood parasitism by cuckoos, I have studied the laying
behavior, egg colors, and the morphology and behavior of young cuckoos,
and have shown how each of the characteristics contributes to the success
of brood parasitism. It became to know that the host selection and
egg color of one cuckoos species differ in the presence and absence of
other cuckoo species. For example, Himalayan cuckoos Cuculus saturatus lay whitish eggs into the nest of Phylloscopus willow warblers in the largest Honshu island where little cuckoos C. poliocephalus lay chocolate-colored eggs into the nests of bush warblers Cettia diphone laying the same colored eggs. On the other hand, in smaller Hokkaido island where
little cuckoos are missing, the Himalayan cuckoos lay chocolate-colored eggs
into the nest of bush warblers.

3) In the study on the origin and development of intelligent behavior, the main target species are green-backed herons Butorides striatus and Corvus crows. In green-backed herons, I showed bait-fishing behavior in southern
Japan, where the herons used various kinds of baits such as flies, cicadas,
earthworms, berries, leaves, twigs, and small feathers to attract and catch
fishes. I also collected similar cases reported from different parts
of the world, and discussed the possible developmental processes of the
behavior. In crows, I collaborated with Dr. Yoshiaki Nihei on a smart
behavior by carrion crows Corvus corone, in which automobiles are used to crack walnuts, and showed the ecological
characteristics of the localities where the behavior is found, the behavioral
diversity and plasticity, and the spread process of the behavior.
It became to know that some crows place a walnut just in front of a car
tire to make sure of cracking. I also studied the tap-turning behavior by a carrion crow and found that
the crow altered the force of the water depending on whether it was drinking
or bathing.

4) In migration studies, I have collaborated with Russian, Mongolian, Korean,
Indian and American scientists on tracking the migration of swans, geese,
ducks, storks, cranes, and hawks for nearly 30 years. I have led
the research projects, and have shown the detailed migration routes, migration
pattern through time, habitat characteristics of important sites, and the
relative importance of each stopover sites based on the length of stay
and the number of birds visited. The results obtained have been used to
settle national or private nature reserves in North Korea and Russia and to evaluate the border of nature
reserves in China. Recently, these studies have been conducted in order to show the relationships
between bird migration and the spread of infectious diseases such as Avian
Influenza. Moreover, we also have used geolocators and other decives to track smaller
birds such as shrikes, starlings and swifts.

5) Studies on conflicts between wildlife and humans are grouped into two:
one on Corvus crows in Tokyo urban area and the other on white-fronted geese Anser albifrons in Hokkaido. In crow study, I studied stone-placing on rail road tracks, dispersing
garbage on street, attacking people, stealing soap bars from kindergarten,
and making field fire by putting alight candles among fallen leaves in
forest floors. I contributed to the resolutions by showing the behavioral
mechanisms. In geese study, my graduate students and I made detailed
field observations and model/computer simulations to show the occurrence
mechanism of damage on wheat and the appropriate resolution of the conflicts.

6) In the study on the impacts of climate change on biodiversity, I have
collaborated with American, Korean and Japanese scientists on changes in
the phenology and distribution of plants and animals. It is shown that
the breeding season of the red-cheeked myna Sturnus philippensis and the blooming season of the Somei-Yoshino cherry Cerasus x yedoensis in Niigata City have both advanced during the past
27 years, but the breeding season of the myna has advanced twice as much. As a
result, the fruit of the cherry on which the myna had relied to feed its chicks
until around the 1970s, can now be provided only in small quantities, since the
cherries are not sufficiently in fruit while the chicks are in the nest.

Educational Programs
My colleagues and I held several educational programs such as Satoyama
Concert and Satellite-tracking Open to the Public. In the Satoyama Concert,
a singer, a pianist, a violinist, a dancer and a biologist collaborated
to provide music and talks associated with Satoyama natural history. In
the Satellite-tracking Open to the Public, we opened the real-time satellite-tracking
of four individual Oriental Honey-Buzzards migrating between Japan and
South-East Asia. Tracking information was also provided in 5 different
languages of Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Indonesian and English. Tens of
thousands people joined to enjoy this program.
