Overview of our activities
When we watch news reports, we notice a strong interest in the oceans. Not only those
aspects directly related to our daily lives, such as fisheries, but also those introducing unusual
creatures in the sea are frequently broadcasted. Groups such as arthropods and mollusks,
which are often avoided by those living on land, often seem to be qualified with compliments
for their marine relatives. The ocean is such an unknown space for humans that it is difficult
to see what kind of landscape develops under the sea, which may in turn arouse curiosity.
In fact, it is technically difficult to study the ocean. It requires special and expensive equipment,
skills in handling them, and many other things that are not found in life on land. It is also
highly dangerous. Because of this difficulty, we know surprisingly little about the ocean. It is
as if new and undescribed species are still lying all around us. It has happened that many
new and extremely rare species have been found in the aquarium at the Center. There arealso many examples of well-known species whose life cycles are still unknown.
The important mission of not only this center but also other coastal facilities is to “understandthe ocean”. Each researcher has his or her own unique perspective in conducting research,such as describing as many species as possible and their distribution in the ocean, where
the understanding of the biota is still limited, elucidating the molecular mechanisms that occur
within marine organisms, and investigating interactions between organisms and theenvironment in an ecosystem. The research is conducted from the unique perspectives ofeach researcher. From such steady activities, the ocean will steadily be revealed little by little.
Recently, however, there has been an increase in the number of articles on changes in themarine environment. Many issues have been raised, such as the decrease and distributionchange of organisms, global warming, ocean acidification, and the ocean plastic problem.
We frequently hear comments that the environment has changed considerably in the oceanssurrounding our center. I suspect that environmental change has caused the extinction of
more than a few species that humans were unaware they even existed. Of course, theenvironment is in transition, but I hope that the oceans, the setting for our research, will
always remain rich and abundant.

1Summary
Overview of the Center
The University of Tsukuba's Shimoda Marine Research Center is a research and education facility formarine biology surrounded by the rich marine environment of the southern Izu Peninsula. The ocean
is the source of life on earth and has given birth to biological diversity. The 21st century is the era oflife science and the environment. The Shimoda Marine Research Center conducts research andeducation in basic and advanced sciences related to marine life in order to deepen our understandingof the basic principles of life and the interactions between organisms.

The center has 8 faculty members who conduct research on marine organisms from various
perspectives ranging from molecular to ecological, including molecular biology, cell biology,
physiology, developmental biology, taxonomy, animal behavior, and ecology. In addition, many
researchers from universities and research institutes in Japan and abroad visit and develop
collaborative research projects. Marine biology is important not only for those who wish to pursue
biology, but also for the development of human resources in a wide range of fields. At the center,
students from the University of Tsukuba's Biology Department and Life and Earth Sciences ResearchGroup, as well as other universities in Japan and abroad, participate in fieldcourses on a variety ofmarine-related topics.

Location and Environmental Conditions
The center is located at the end of Oura Bay, a branch of Shimoda Bay, to the south of Shimoda City
center. The bay is immediately surrounded by the Kuroshio Current, but within the bay there is a small
portion of an inner bay environment. Because of its location at the interface between the temperateand subtropical zones, kelp forests, which represent the temperate zone, coexist with reef-building
corals that inhabit the tropics. In the future, this ecosystem is expected to change drastically due toclimate change and other factors.

Marine organisms used at the center include: the tunicates Ciona intestinalis and Styela sp., the2

solitary ascidian Herdmania momus, the urchins Hemicentrotus pulcherrimus, Temnopleurus reevesii,
Heliocidaris crassispina, Pseudocentrotus depressus, and Diadema setosum, Comatulida crinoids,
nudibranchs, Placazoa, Xenoturbella sp., Acoelomorpha, Brachiopoda, flatworms, the comb jelly
Bolinopsis mikado, corals, the flatfish Pseudopleuronectes yokohamae, sole, and Paralichthys
olivaceus, the wrasse Thalassoma cupido, the spiny lobster Panulirus japonicus, the conch Strombus
luhuanus, the kelp Ecklonia cava, the brown algae Mutimo cylindricus, Sargassum fusiforme, andPetalonia binghamiae.

Research Activities
1) Research Introduction
Marine Molecular Biology Division
Genetics (Sasakura)
Ascidians are closest living relatives of vertebrates. Ciona intestinalis is the model ascidian becauseof its well-annotated genome information and established methodologies for manipulating genes.
Using Ciona, our group studies genetic mechanisms underlying development of ascidians. Particularly,
we are interested in the mechanisms of metamorphosis, in which Ciona dramatically converts its bodystructure from swimming tadpole larva into sessile, vase-like adult. We developed the methods tomodify genomes of Ciona by means of transgenic and genome editing technologies. The transgenic
and mutant lines established by the methods are useful tools to observe cellular and molecular
phenomena during development. We are engaged in the National BioResource Project of Ciona,which is purposed to collect, store and provide these useful lines to researchers all over the world. A
constructs for providing them to researchers upon request.

Research Themes:
・ Developmental genetics of ascidians・ Neurodevelopmental and physiological studies on ascidian metamorphosis mechanisms

Cell Biology (Inaba・Shiba)
Cilia and flagella are important cellular organelles for locomotion and fluid flow in body. The structureof cilia and flagella is well conserved in the process of evolution. We study the structure, function andevolution of cilia and flagella by using marine organisms such as ascidian, sea urchin, fish, and comb
jelly. Our research topics cover a wide range of subjects, including fertilization, morphogenesis,
locomotion, evolution and ecology of marine unicellular and multicellular organisms.

Research Themes:
・ Studies on the structure, function and evolution of eukaryotic flagella and cilia
・ Research on sperm motility regulation and adaptation to the fertilization environment
・ Genomics and proteomics in marine invertebrates
9Developmental Biology (Yaguchi)
The main research goal of our laboratory is understanding the molecular mechanisms of body axis
formation and neurogenesis in sea urchin embryos/larvae. We also focus on the function of nervous
system in sea urchin larvae.

Research Themes:
・ Analysis of the mechanisms of body-axis formation and neurogenesis in early embryos
・ Analysis of neural function during early development
・ Analysis of the effects of external environmental stimuli such as light and temperature on
development

Evolutionary Embryology (Nakano)
There are many extant animals, such as xenacoelomophs and placozoans, that are evolutionarily
important but have not been extensively studied. In our group, we perform morphological, ecological,
and developmental research on these ‘non-model organisms’ with the aim of gaining new insights on
the origins, evolution, and diversity of bilaterians and metazoans.

Research Themes:
・ Studies on evolution and diversity of metazoans using flatworms, xenacoelomophs andplacozoans
・ Zoological and natural history research on marine invertebrates
・ Evolutionary and phylogenetic studies of body color diversity in sea slugs
・ Evolutionary developmental studies on brachiopods, including analysis of their shell proteins10Marine Ecology Division
Environmental Ecology (Harvey)
We seek to understand how changes in environmental conditions (focussing on ocean acidification,
ocean warming, and marine heatwaves) will change our oceans. Our research is multidisciplinary,combining field-based (subtidal and intertidal surveys and experiments), aquarium-based
manipulative experiments, and desk-based (environmental modelling, statistical modelling, metaanalyses) approaches. Our research covers a wide range of subjects within the context of climatechange, including species ecophysiology, biomineralisation, population genetics, biodiversity andcommunity meta-barcoding, community-level structuring processes and interactions, regime shifts
and stability, and ecosystem functioning, goods and services. Taken together, this will allow us tobetter understand the impacts of global climate change on coastal ecosystems worldwide.

Research Themes:・Role of ocean acidification and warming on biodiversity, community structuring, and stability
・Impacts of ocean acidification and warming on calcification, physiology, and functioning
・Impacts of marine heatwaves on biogeographic distribution, range shifts, and aquaculture

Material Cycling (Wada)
Marine organisms and their ambient environments have various interactions. Analysis of theinteractions will allow us to understand the principle of mechanisms of marine ecosystems. In addition,
we can contribute to predict the progress of global climate change such as ocean acidification.

Research Themes:・Assessment of Blue Carbon in Seagrass beds
・Impacts of ocean acidification on coastal ecosystems
・Analysis of marine snow dynamics

11Marine Complex Biology Division
Environmental Ecophysiology (Agostini)
We study the ecophysiology of marine organisms with a special focus on corals and the impact ofanthropogenic stressors on their community. Ocean warming is driving the degradation of coral reefs
in the tropic and could allow the increase of coral abundance in warm-temperate areas. However,ocean warming comes in combination with ocean acidification which is limiting the growth of corals
on a global scale. There are many dangers beyond climate change and ocean acidification. Due tothe lack of data on microplastic pollution, which has been attracting attention in recent years, it is not
yet possible to assess what kind of impact it has on marine ecosystems and corals. We also study
the impact of other anthropogenic stressors on marine ecosystems in general and thrive to understandthe ecology and future trajectories of these ecosystems through the study of the physiology andecology combining field and laboratory studies. To increase awareness of the different environmental
problems that threatens marine ecosystems we also conduct various social outreach activities.

Research Themes:
・The effects of anthropogenic stressors on marine ecosystems
・Eco-physiology of scleractinian corals and marine organisms
・Tropicalization of marine ecosystems under ocean acidification and warming
・Evaluation of the impact of microplastic pollution
