Research Interests
  1. Ecology & Conservation of Whales and dolphins
  2. Ecology of Stray dogs, Birds, Fairy Shrimps & Fig wasps
Lab Introduction： 

Throughout my post-graduate and academic career I have applied the approach of evolutionary ecology and biology to a wide variety of researches, including the studies of figs and fig wasps, bird community ecology, life history of fresh water fairy shrimps, behavior and population dynamics of stray dogs, as well as human attitude toward mammals. In addition, my lab has been actively involved since 1990 in both research and conservation actions for whales and dolphins (Cetaceans) in Taiwan.

My current projects include:

Cetaceans: stranding response, morphological & genetic phylogeography, comparative study of life-history strategies, interaction with fishery operation, impacts of whale watching.

Fairy shrimps: life history, population dynamics
