Research


The field I am interested in is fish taxonomy and phylogenetics, especially the phylogenetics of gobies.The family Odontobutidae is a small group of freshwater sleeper fishes distributed in East Asia from the Far East region of Russia to northern Laos and Vietnam, and in the Japanese archipelago. It was first established by Hoese and Gill (1993) based on three genera including Odontobutis, Perccottus, and Micropercops. Microdous (Gobiiformes: Odontobutidae) is a new genus of Odontobutidae distributed in southern China and Vietnam.
