0 Comments

 
Dr. Levente-Péter Kolcsár (JSPS postdoctoral fellow) went on a field collection trip in the Japanese Alps, between 12-18 June. The aim of the trip was to collect crane flies (Diptera: Tipuloidea) along mountain rivers and streams for morphological and molecular studies. The main targeted group was a poorly known hairy-eyed crane fly genus (Tricyphona), in which several new species are suspected.

​Dr. Daichi Kato from Echigo-Matsunoyama Museum of Natural Science, Matsunoyama, Niigata Pref. also joined the field collection between 14-16 June. 

During the trip over 1200 specimens belonging to 150-160 species were collected.

Mr. Dan Joseph Logronio, a research student from the MECOH Lab performed eDNA collection in Satsunai river, Hokkaido, Japan last June 19 to assess macroinvertebrate communities both in benthic and hyporheic zones. DNA metabarcoding will be used for the identification of taxa present in the sample. This is a collaborative project with the Laboratory of Watershed Conservation and Management, Graduate School of Environmental Science, Hokkaido University headed by Dr. Junjiro Negishi.

​Dr. Levente-Péter Kolcsár (JSPS postdoctoral fellow) went on a field collection trip to Okinawa Island, Japan between 24-31 May, 2022. The aim of the trip was to collect crane flies (Diptera: Tipuloidea) along different aquatic and wet habitats. The crane fly fauna of the island is poorly investigated, and many species new to science or new to Japan are suspected from Okinawa and surrounding areas.

During the trip around 550-600 specimens belonging to 52 species were collected, from which 14 suspected to be new to science.
