Research Interests

Basic research in ecology: trophic interactions and their geographic variations.

Ecological applications: assessing the impact of climate change on trophic interactions; applying ecology to conservation or agriculture.

Welcome to Chuan-Kai Ho Lab! 
The lab focuses on plant-animal interactions and environmental change.
