1 Ryutaro Goto, Ph.D. Assistant Professor Seto Marine Biological Laboratory Field Science Research and Education Center Kyoto University 459 Shirahama, Nishimuro, Wakayama , Japan RESEARCH INTERESTS My research focuses on evolution and diversification of marine invertebrates. I am especially interested in (1) how symbiotic species interactions affect morphological and ecological evolution of marine organisms and their community structure; and (2) how and why extreme sexual dimorphism evolved in various marine taxa.
