Lab of Animal Invasion Ecology and Conservation Biogeography

We are a young and enthusiastic lab with great interests falling at the interface of invasion ecology, macroecology, and conservation biogeography by integrating field studies, mesocosm experiments, and ecological models. Most of our research focuses on some scientific questions of general interest on how globalization anthropogenic changes, mainly including biological invasions, climate change, and wildlife disease affect biodiversity from local to global scales. We mainly focus on amphibians because they are among the most threatened vertebrate on Earth, but also work with other taxa when necessary.
