    Interdisciplinary approach for the understandings of “co-evolutionary networks” in nature

Ecosystems consist of the networks of diverse biological species. Hirokazu is studying the origin of biodiversity and the dynamics of biological interactions. He is particularly interested in the “co-evolutionary” processes, wherein the evolution of one species results in the counter-evolution of the other, and vice versa. His long-term goal is to develop a novel approach for the reconstruction and management of ecosystems based on the understandings of co-evolutionary networks in the wild.
