Ph.D. Student

 

I'm interested in larval morphology, taxonomy, systematics, evolution and larval ecology of the family Scarabaeidae (Coleoptera).

I'm mainly studying focus on the subfamilies Cetoniinae, Trichinae and Valginae in the family Scarabaeidae.



■ Main research subject

  • Comparative morphology of larvae in the family Scarabaeidae
  • Morphological evolution of Larvae in the subfamiles Cetoniinae, Trichinae and Valginae
  • Taxonomic study of the family Scarabaeidae
  • Elucidation of habitats in the larvae of the subfamily Cetoniinae
