  • Preliminary Survey on the Tetori Group in Southern Ishikawa, Japan 石川
    石川県立自然史資料館研究報告 第３号 Bulletin of the Ishikawa Museum of Natural History, 3: 49-62 (2013) Preliminary survey on the Tetori Group in southern Ishikawa, Japan Yoshihiro KATSURA 石川県南部に分布する手取層群に対する予備調査 桂嘉志浩 Abstract The Lower Cretaceous Itoshiro and overlying Akaiwa subgroups of the Tetori Group are distributed in the Shiramine Area of Hakusan City, Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan. The Kuwajima Formation, the upper division of the lower subgroup, is considered to have been deposited under lacustrine and associated alluvial environments. It has yielded a reasonable number of vertebrate remains that are small, allochthonous, and mostly disarticulated. The Akaiwa Formation, the lower division of the upper subgroup, is suggested to have been formed by fluvial systems with strong currents and rapid deposition. Except for plant fragments, fossils are uncommon. Vertebrates, including dinosaurs, occur in the Kitadani Formation, the upper division of the upper subgroup, in northeastern Fukui Prefecture, and this formation crops out in the Shiramine Area. Therefore, there is a chance that articulated large vertebrate fossils are preserved in the subgroups exposed in the area. However, the indurated nature of the rocks, precipitous topology, thick vegetation cover, and overall poor exposures represent significant challenges to making such a discovery. Further, based on the taphonomy of the observed vertebrates, finding well-preserved large vertebrates in the area will be difficult and require much time and financial support.

  • Satoyama Landscapes and Their Change in a River Basin Context: Lessons for Sustainability
    Issues in Social Science ISSN 2329-521X 2016, Vol. 5, No. 1 Satoyama Landscapes and Their Change in A River Basin context: Lessons for Sustainability Shamik Chakraborty (Corresponding author) Institute for the Advanced Study of Sustainability (IAS), United Nations University 5-53-70 Jingumae, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, 150-8925, Japan Tel: 81-3-5467-1212 E-mail: [email protected] Abhik Chakraborty Center for Tourism Research, Wakayama University 930 Sakaedani, Wakayama city, Wakayama, 649-8441, Japan Tel: 81-73-456-7025 Email: [email protected] Received: March 10, 2017 Accepted: April 6, 2017 Published: June 14, 2017 doi:10.5296/iss.v5i1.10892 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.5296/iss.v5i1.10892 Abstract 'Satoyama' denotes a mosaic of different landscape-types that has sustained agrarian societies for millennia in Japan. These landscapes have undergone degradation during the past few decades. While satoyama is a consistently referred term in landscape management in Japan, little attention is given to how such landscapes undergo change in large spatial units such as river basins. This study, based on documents and interviews, reviews how watershed level changes affect the functioning of such socioecological systems in the Kuma River Basin in Kyushu. Watershed properties of the Kuma River Basin changed during pre-modern and modern times and each phase left a lasting legacy on the landscape. The article analyzes how ecological connectivity became fragmented by identifying changes in ecosystem services, and concludes that while socio-ecological landscapes have a long history of human use; the human component cannot outgrow the fundamental biophysical processes that maintain ecosystem services and system resilience; these systems can undergo swift and irreversible degradation when ecological connectivity is fragmented.

  • Japan in Winter January 13–25, 2018
    JAPAN IN WINTER JANUARY 13–25, 2018 Japanese (Red-crowned) Cranes dancing. Photo: S. Hilty LEADERS: KAZ SHINODA & STEVE HILTY with KOJI NIIYA one morning on HOKKAIDO LIST COMPILED BY: STEVE HILTY VICTOR EMANUEL NATURE TOURS, INC. 2525 WALLINGWOOD DRIVE, SUITE 1003 AUSTIN, TEXAS 78746 WWW.VENTBIRD.COM JAPAN IN WINTER: A CRANE & SEA-EAGLE SPECTACLE! By Steve Hilty One of the top highlights mentioned by most members of the group was a Ural Owl sleeping in a large, picturesque tree hollow. It was, in fact, an image that could have been plucked straight from an illustrated book of fairy tales from the Middle Ages. A male Eurasian Bullfinch in beautiful morning light also garnered top honors and, surprisingly, so did the diminutive Japanese Pygmy Woodpecker. For several of us, a large flock of Rooks eluding repeated prey- capture attempts by a Peregrine Falcon (the Rooks being more capable and wily than they might appear) over a large expanse of rice paddies was a trip highlight. Also prized were more than a dozen Stellar’s and White-tailed sea-eagles perched on a forested Hokkaido hillside during a snowstorm. The arrival of a Blakiston’s Fish-Owl at a small pool resulted in a mass exodus from our rather sedate and stylized Japanese dinner. And yes, then there were the Japanese Cranes, lumps of black and white fluff standing in a frigid river as steamy mists from the thermally- heated river water rose around them—a surreal and unforgettable setting. Surprisingly, perhaps, the Mandarin Ducks received not a single nod at the end—perhaps because they were a little distant—although they generated much excitement the morning we saw them, and the image of a stately pair cruising steadily across a mirror-smooth lake in early morning light, their narrow wake line trailing behind, will not likely be forgotten.

Everyone met for dinner in the hotel- Sunday 21st February: Narita - Izumi Nature Park - Nagakura Shrine, Karuizawa Notable sightings, Brown-headed Thrush, Northern Goshawk, Black- crowned Night Heron, Mandarin Duck. We started the days birding at a small creek near the hotel This was the only place we saw Brown-headed Thrush for this trip. We also saw Japanese Tit, Meadow Bunting and other common species as well. It provided a nice introduction to Japanese birds. Then we headed off up to Karuizawa. Since I surprisingly, didn’t have a good view of the extremely photogenic Mandarin Duck on the previous winter tour, we side tracked to Izumi Nature Park, where Mandarin Duck relatively common to make sure of them. We had good views of them there.

Bird around Bird Forest, Karuizawa. It was rather quiet in the forest and there was not much bird activities so we retired to the Shiatsubo Hotel lounge where we spent a nice time overlooking the bird feeder. We had great looks at a variety of tits and buntings. After lunch we visited Saku reservoir, the numbers of waterfowl were not great , but there was still a nice variety of species, more Daythan enough to keep us busy and interested 3 - Tuesday 23rd February: .
