Research Contents
My research attempts to infer evolutionary history of marine life v.s. environmental changes in long time scale using both fossil and Recent mollusks. My ongoing research
projects involve:
1) Origin and transition of the Recent species diversity in the Indo-West Pacific.
2) Evolution and systematics of mollusks
3) Evolutionary and ecological studies on sunken wood communities

Comments
The mollusca, having an excellent fossil records, is enormously diverse, and enables to answer numbers of questions in biology and paleontology.
