Lifetime list of publications by Hiroya Kawanabe

Abstract

Hiroya Kawanabe produced more than 780 scientific papers, popular articles, governmental reports, chapters in books, edited or co-edited books, encyclopedia entries, and Japanese translations of books from 1952 until the compilation of this bibliography (Fall 1997). He was the sole or first author of 88% of these publications and shared authorship with 286 collaborators. Eighty-nine percent of his publications were in Japanese, others were in English, German, Chinese, Korean and Italian. His publications were devoted mainly to four topics: (1) ecology of freshwater fishes, especially the territorial behavior of ayu, Plecoglossus altivelis, and interspecific relationships and food segregation among fishes from 1956; (2) fish community ecology in Lake Tanganyika since 1979; (3) political articles on ecological research after 1991; and (4) museum activities after 1996. He also produced a number of newspaper articles (over 25% of total publications) addressing topics not only of science but literature, culture and philosophy. Kawanabe’s articles in newspapers were produced mainly when he was the Director of the Center for Ecological Research of Kyoto University, and most of these articles concentrated on promoting the development of ecological research in Japan. The publications are arranged chronologically by year. The decision to add Japanese titles was based on the fact that their English translations, which follow in parentheses, are often too loose and imprecise. Unfortunately, our printers could not insert these titles in the Japanese characters so Roman transliterations had to be substituted.
