Ph.D. Students
6th year SUGITA, Norimasa Email: My research is about mating system in the roost of Bonin flying fox Pteropus pselaphon. This animal is very odd! I'm finalizing my findings now. I'll do my best!
5th year SAKAI, Yoshiko Email: I'm interested in the role of sexual selection in mate choice. My research focuses on the evolutionary causes of variation in human facial preferences with regard to facial masculinity-femininity.
4th year TOKUE, Kihoko Email: Breeding strategy of the little bronze cuckoo Chrysococcyx minutillis
4th year TAKAHASHI, Masao Email: I'm studying basic ecology of a endangered species, Japanese marsh warbler (Marsh grassbird) Locustella pryeri. Many interesting facts are now emerging. I hope my research contributes to the species protection for the future.
3rd year SUZUKI, Toshitaka Email: Vocal comunication among species of Paridae
1st year EMURA, Naoko Email:
1st year ENDO, Sachiko Email: s.endo "AT" rikkyo "DOT" ac "DOT" jp I am studying habitat selection in Bull-headed shrikes Lanius bucephalus. I am interested in the effect of conspecific and interspecific competition on the formation of their territories.
1st year KAMIOKI, Masayoshi Email: m.kamioki "AT" rikkyo "DOT" ac "DOT" jp I am interested in animal communication, particularly nocturnal song of birds. My study theme is "Nocturnal singing activity of asian stubtail Urosphena squameiceps". I'm a night owl indeed!
