Introduction of high quality microscopes has enables us to analyze the food habits of middle sized omnivorous mammals like raccoon dogs as well as ungulates like sika deer. 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 automatic photograph system has enabled us to take wild mammals which are often nocturnal and their life has been unclear. In particular, we are finding the effects of fragmentation and isolation of habitats of such wildlife in urbanized areas. GIS (geographic information system) enables us to analyze the relations of habitats and home ranges of wildlife. We are analyzing the factors causing road kills (car accidents). 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. Using freezing containers as well as microscope system enabled the student to measure the bio-markers of companion animals, such as pathogenic agents and blood parameters. Animals' behavior has been able to be monitored in a sound proof room, because the environmental cues were well controlled. 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 = {247--248}, title = {人と動物との共生をめざした教育プログラム}, volume = {17/18}, year = {2009} }
