S., Wildlife ecology, Department of Biology, China West Normal University, Sichuan, 1987. B. S., Biology, Department of Biology, China West Normal University, Sichuan, 1984. Current Occupation: Professor in Wildlife Ecology and Conservation Biology, Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Science | | Research Interests: | | Using state of the art methods based on macro-ecology and micro (molecular, genomic and metagenomic)-ecology, we are interested in assessing the past, present and future status of endangered species in China, especially the giant and red pandas, inferring their evolutionary and demographic processes and proposing targeted strategies for their future survival. Our research falls in all areas of conservation biology, including conservation evolutionary biology, conservation ecology, conservation behavior, conservation physiology, conservation genetics and genomics, conservation metagenomics and conservation management. | | Awards and Honors: | | 2019: Second Prize of National Natural Science Award of China, State Council of China
