I am focusing on Metabolism Theory of Ecology especially in energy budgets during ontogeny, reproduction, and infection. My former research in China is about species-abundance relationship, environmental factors affecting species distribution, and also ecological modeling for predicting potential distribution of species, which I am still interested in and working on.
