Survey of the deepest part of Taya Cave (prohibited area). We found traces of aquatic life walking at the place that are not exposed to light all year round. We have identified a creature that looks like a shrimp.
We traced the outline of the slime mold discovered last time with a white pin, and traced the movement deformation of this slime mold one week later with a green pin. We observed the moving deformation after 3 hours with a fixed camera.
A lot of bivalve fossils are observed in the cave, but a large conch fossil was discovered. Unfortunately, it is a room that general visitors cannot enter.
第2回 洞内生物調査
2019.7.20
洞内生物調査を実施。洞窟をアリアに分けて床壁天井毎に生物調査を実施。
Conducted biological research in the cave. Divide the cave into areas and conduct biological surveys for each floor and ceiling.
We considered the temperature condition of the cave wall by taking a video with a thermostat camera in order to guess the moss on the wall. We were able to confirm that the air was flowing in the thermo image.
第6回 洞内生物調査(粘菌確認)
2019.8.31
事前調査した木壁に新たに粘菌を確認。急遽、今後の成長過程を観察する事に。
A new slime mold was confirmed on the previously investigated wooden wall. We decided to observe the growth process of this slime mold.
Confirmed that small insects inhabit the area where fungi on the wood panels are growing naturally. In addition, it was confirmed that a lot of micro-organisms lived in the drainage ditch of groundwater.
