Outline of Final Research Achievements

It is an important task for museums to utilize accumulated specimens for scientific research and exhibition-related programs for the general public. In most research fields relevant to museums, specimen research relies on morphology. In this study, we published various case studies on specimen morphological analyses in zoology, paleontology, and archaeology, primarily using mollusk, mammal, fossil, and archaeological samples. The shape of various samples was characterized and analyzed using a combination of two- and/or three-dimensional methods. The morphological evolution of biological samples was estimated based on molecular phylogenetic analysis. The data obtained in this study were used for museum exhibitions and research on display design techniques. The results of this study were added to the museum collection database and will also be utilized for future research.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

形の比較や分類は社会のあらゆる分野で行われている。収蔵標本を視覚的に分かりやすく見せる手法を研究する、あるいは研究の現場において行われている形に関する分析の事例を分かりやすく提示することは博物館の機能を高めるために重要である。本研究では、博物館の収蔵標本を実際の学術研究に使用し、その過程で蓄積されたデータを用いて展示公開事業を実践することに意義がある。
