Resume:

I have been studying behavioral ecology of Sichuan snub-nosed monkeys (Rhinopithecus roxellana) and Yunnan snub-nosed monkeys (R. bieti) since June 1996. A study camp base was organized at Xiangguqing village in Tacheng Town within the Baimaxueshan National Nature Reserve, Yunnan in 2003. I was the only scientific supervisor of Study center of the Yunnan snub-nosed monkey of Baimaxueshan Nature Reserve between the year of 2008 and 2010. After I finished my postdoctoral job in Institute of Zoology (IOZ), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) in 2004, I have been working in the same institute up to date. The two snub-nosed monkeys are my main study objects. During this working period, I attended three primate conferences held by International Primatological Society (IPS) in Baijing (2002), Edinburgh (2008) and Kyoto (2010), respectively. Furthermore, I went to Zurich University in Switzersland between 2007 and 2008 as a visitor scholar.

Research Grants:

Six projects were funded by Natural Science Foundation of China and elsewhere. The total grant amounted up to ac. RMB¥1290,000 since 2002 when I worked in IOZ, CAS. And, I was co-workers in other international projects, funding of Natural Science Foundation of China and sub-project of 973 on study of snub-nosed monkeys with a total grant up to RMB ¥3,000,000. Now two projects on snub-nosed monkeys were directed at handy.
