  • Report on the questionnaire of the safety management for field research in the Primate Society of Japan

  • First noncontact millimeter‐wave radar measurement of heart rate in great apes

    Open AccessTakuya Matsumoto, Itsuki Iwata et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Primatology2024

    Heart rate is a crucial vital sign and a valuable indicator for assessing the physical and psychological condition of a target animal. Heart rate contributes to (1) fundamental information for cognitive research, (2) an indicator of psychological and physical stress, and (3) improving the animal welfare of captive animals, especially in nonhuman primate studies. Heart rate has been measured using a contact‐type device; however, the device burdens…

  • The association between exposure to hate speech or perceived discrimination and mental health problems among Korean residents in Japan

    Open AccessTakuya Matsumoto, Shiro Kitada et al.ARTICLETranscultural Psychiatric…2024References: 26

    This study evaluated the effect of perceived discrimination and racism on the mental health state of Korean residents in Japan, with a particular focus on the risk of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, and psychological distress. Surveys were sent to Korean residents in Japan and a total of 240 valid responses were received. The valid response rate was 27.1%. The participants answered several questionnaire items, including demogra…

  • An interspecies comparison of the weaning process in primates

    Open AccessTakuya MatsumotoARTICLEPrimate Research2023

    In this paper, I discuss the relationship between social organization and offspring-rearing methods, which are starting to be used as a novel indicator in interspecies societal comparisons. Additionally, I clarify the relationship between the intimacy of the mother–offspring relationship and the development of foraging in the offspring. I suggest that the establishment of a base camp in human evolution is important not only to facilitate effectiv…

  • Higher synchronization stability with piano experience

    Open AccessKanami Ito, Tatsunori Watanabe et al.ARTICLEJournal of PHYSIOLOGICAL…2023References: 45

    Background Synchronous finger tapping to external sensory stimuli is more stable for audiovisual combined stimuli than sole auditory or visual stimuli. In addition, piano players are superior in synchronous tapping and manipulating the ring and little fingers as compared to inexperienced individuals. However, it is currently unknown whether the ability to synchronize to external sensory stimuli with the ring finger is at the level of the index fi…

  • Current Status and Future Perspectives of Wildlife Research in Africa

    Open AccessNobuko Nakazawa, Takuya MatsumotoARTICLEJournal of African Studies2021

    日本の研究者によるアフリカの野生動物研究は,近年,手法や動物種を多様化させながらさらなる発展を見せている。本稿ではこのうち若手研究者の研究を中心に紹介する。例えば長期調査がおこなわれてきた霊長類種の研究では,蓄積されたデータを踏まえた研究や,ラボ分析などと組み合わせた研究がみられる。その一方,直接観察の難しい動物種については,糞分析や赤外線自動撮影カメラなどを用いることで,研究が進められている。今後はテクノロジーの発展による新たな発見に加えて,異なる動物種を対象とする研究者が共存することで,より複雑な種間関係が明らかになっていくだろう。コロナ禍によってほとんどの調査地で現地調査の中断を余儀なくされているなか,現地の調査補助員やカウンターパートと協力しながら,できる限りの研究と保全活動が続けられている。コロナ禍の収束後は,研究者の不在中でも,調査補助員と協力して動物のモニタリングができるような体制を作り上げることが望ましい。また日本においても,野生動物や,生息している環境について広く発信す…

  • Developmental changes in feeding behaviors of infant chimpanzees at Mahale, Tanzania

    Open AccessTakuya MatsumotoARTICLEAmerican Journal of Physical…2017Cited by: 7References: 62

    OBJECTIVES: Weaning of chimpanzees is considered to occur at 4-5-years-old with complete cessation of nipple contact and timing of reconception calculated by inter-birth interval minus gestation length. This is also the basis of "early weaning" in humans (i.e., approximately 2.5-years-old). However, recent studies of the survival of orphans and the first molar (M1) eruption in wild chimpanzees have predicted that infants move toward nutritional i…

  • Experimental Primate Archaeology

    W C Mcgrew, Takuya Matsumoto et al.ARTICLELithic Technology2014Cited by: 2References: 16

    Non-human primates using stones in nature provide a rare opportunity to compare directly the behaviour of use with the resulting lithic artifacts. Wild Japanese macaques (Macaca fuscata) customarily do “stone handling” (SH = spontaneous, solitary, non-instrumental and seemingly playful manipulation of stones). Ten populations of monkeys show at least 48 behavioral variants, 13 of which entail repeated stone-on-stone or stone-on-substrate contact …
