Introduction of high quality microscopes has enables us to analyze the food habits of ruminants such as sika deer and Japanese serow as well as middle sized omnivorous mammals like raccoon dogs. A new type of microscopic camera has enabled us to take high quality photographs of small animal bones left in the nests of owls. We are establishing a library system of these prey food plants and animals. Introduction of a new TTL digital camera has enabled us to take pollinator insects and entomophyllous flowers. This is effective to show how forest management affects plant communities and consequent changes of pollinators. Thus, introduction of these new equipments has been improving the environment of research and education of wildlife in Azabu University. Regarding to companion animals, the use of these animals has been well focused in recent years, according to the falling birthrate and the aging population. However, there are little about fundamental education and research for the biological and social aspects of the companion animals. In this year, we have developed stress biomarkers in dogs’ urine by using freezing containers as well as microscope system. Also, the detail analysis of animals’ communicative signals is the most important for understanding the emotional aspects of them. We used the microscope camera and broadband sound analyzer to detect the social signals from the dogs and found that emotional reactivity was well observed. Introductions of these equipments have also been improving research and education of companion animals in Azabu University., P(論文), 特集, application/pdf, FEATURE ARTICLES}, pages = {129--130}, title = {人と動物との共生をめざした教育プログラム}, volume = {19/20}, year = {2010} }
