About

Masaya Morita is an Associate Professor at the University of the Ryukyus in Japan. His research focuses on evolutionary biology, specifically in the areas of sexual selection, coral adaptability to environmental stress, and behavioral ecology in cichlids. Recent articles have explored topics such as sperm motility in cichlids, genetic diversity selection in coral larvae, and the adaptive potential of corals following bleaching events.
