Collaborative fieldwork of three universities in Kizu and Tenryu Rivers

On August 7-10, 2022, the members of MEcoH Lab led by Prof. Kozo, together with Dan and Art (Research students), and Tsubasa (B4) joined the Kyoto University team headed by Prof. Takemon, along with Liu (D1), Nishimura (M1) and Mojar (M1) as well as Dr. Takahashi from Tohoku University in a 4-day collection trip in Kizu and Tenryu Rivers.

Along these large rivers, different habitat types were identified, inspected, and compared with one another. Despite the scorching heat, the fieldwork was successful as samples for several projects were collected including macroinvertebrates and eDNA.
