Research Areas
I focus on the relationship between organisms and their environment, with an emphasis on zooplankton. I have conducted extensive field surveys of lakes in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River and the Tibetan Plateau region of China, which are strongly influenced by human activities (changes in fish structure and trophic status) and climate change (changes in water quantity and salinity), respectively.
My current project aims to study the adaptation mechanisms of organisms in different environments and their relationship with community structure, and to explore the processes by which environmental stresses affect ecosystems. We are also trying to find key indicators to assess the state of the ecosystem for lake management and conservation.
