히라모토 치에 교수의 연구실은 동물의 행동과 환경 상호작용을 중심으로, 특히 침팬지의 사회적 행동과 서식지 특성 간의 관계를 다룹니다. 식생 분석과 신호 해석 기법을 활용해 동물의 의사소통 구조와 생태적 요인 간의 상관관계를 연구하며, 특히 신호의 의미 단위를 정의하고 분류하는 신호 해석 방법론 개발에도 기여하고 있습니다. 이는 동물 행동 생태학과 생태계 복원에 응용 가능한 기초 연구입니다.

We analysed the vegetation of the Kalinzu Forest, Uganda, using principal component analysis. We got two components by the analysis: one seemed to indicate the strength of environmental factors characteristic to the western part of the study area, and the other seemed to indicate the extent of disturbance by human exploitation. Using these components, we made a vegetation map that distinguished four types of vegetation: mixed mature forest, Parinari-dominated mature forest, Parinari-dominated se
The operational sex ratio (OSR) is used as a predictor for the intensity of mating competition. While many factors affect the OSR, there tends to be a high male bias in primate species with long interbirth intervals and non-seasonal breeding, such as hominid apes. However, the OSR of bonobos (Pan paniscus) is lower than that of chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes), which is thought to reduce competitive and aggressive male behaviors. The low OSR of bonobos is considered to result from the early resumpt
Parsing signals from noise is a general problem for signallers and recipients, and for researchers studying communicative systems. Substantial efforts have been invested in comparing how other species encode information and meaning, and how signalling is structured. However, research depends on identifying and discriminating signals that represent meaningful units of analysis. Early approaches to defining signal repertoires applied top-down approaches, classifying cases into predefined signal ty
