The Mammal Society of Japan, Mammalogy research organization in Shinjuku, Japan.
The Mammal Society of Japan is a research organization based in Tokyo that connects over 1,100 scientists dedicated to studying mammal species found in Japan and around the world. The society supports members by providing access to scientific publications and hosting regular meetings where researchers share their latest findings.
The society was founded in 1987 from the merger of the Mammalogical Society of Japan and the Mammal Research Group, both with roots extending back to 1923. This combination created a more unified and coordinated community of researchers working on mammal science in Japan.
The organization publishes research through two scientific journals in both English and Japanese, making findings available across different linguistic communities. This dual-language approach helps researchers from different regions stay connected and informed about mammal studies.
Visitors can access research publications through digital platforms like BioOne and J-STAGE and find information about annual meetings where members gather to exchange findings. The organization's website provides details about membership options and how to get involved in the community.
The organization created a detailed catalog of Japanese names for mammal species found worldwide, based on the Mammal Species of the World reference. This project helps researchers understand how different species are named in both scientific and Japanese contexts.
