Yu Ito is an aquatic botanist worked at the University of Tokyo (PhD: 2006-2010), University of West Hungary (PostDoc: 2010-2011), University of Saskatchewan (PostDoc: 2011-2012), Aarhus University (PostDoc: 2012), University of Canterbury (PostDoc: 2013-2014), and Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden (2015-). Dr. Ito is an expert on the family Ruppiaceae, and in 2010 published a worldwide molecular phylogeny of the family,〔Ito Y., T. Ohi-Toma, J. Murata & Nr. Tanaka (2010) (Hybridization and polyploidy of an aquatic plant, ''Ruppia'' (Ruppiaceae), inferred from plastid and nuclear DNA phylogenies ) ''American Journal of Botany'' 97: 1156-1167〕 proposing a new taxonomic classification of three species and one species complex. The ''R''. ''maritima'' complex defined there is now updated to include in total eight entities.〔Ito, Y., T. Ohi-Toma, J. Murata & Nr. Tanaka (2013) Comprehensive phylogenetic analyses of the ''Ruppia maritima'' complex focusing on taxa from the Mediterranean. ''Journal of Plant Research'' 126: 753-762〕 Now the systematics of the genus is largely changed by the discovery of a new and the most basal species from Western Cape, South Africa (''Ruppia bicarpa'' Y.Ito et. Muasya).〔Ito, Y., T. Ohi-Toma, J. Murata, Nr. Tanaka, & M.A. Muasya (2015) Phylogeny of Ruppia (Ruppiaceae) revisited: Molecular and Morphological Evidence for a New Species from Western Cape, South Africa. ''Systematic Botany'' 40: xxx-xxx〕 Among the other contributions of him to science include botanical surveys of aquatic plants in Myanmar and Thailand.〔Ito, Y., T. Ohi-Toma, Nb. Tanaka, and J. Murata (2009) New or noteworthy plant collections from Myanmar (3) ''Caldesia parnassifolia'', ''Nechamandra alternifolia'', ''Potamogeton maackianus'' and ''P''. ''octandrus''. ''Journal of Japanese Botany'' 84: 321-329〕〔Ito, Y. (2013) New records of aquatic plants for the flora of Thailand: ''Nechamandra'' ''alternifolia'' and ''Potamogeton'' ''octandrus''. ''Thai Forest Bulletin'' 41: 140-144〕〔Ito, Y., Nr. Tanaka, R. Pooma, and Nb. Tanaka (2014) DNA barcoding reveals a new record of ''Potamogeton'' ''distinctus'' (Potamogetonaceae) and its natural hybrids, ''P''. ''distinctus'' × ''P''. ''nodosus'' and ''P''. ''distinctus'' × ''P''. ''wrightii'' (''P''. ×''malainoides'') from Myanmar. ''Biodiversity Data Journal'' 2: e1073.
