I am a postdoctoral researcher at Jiangxi Agricultural University, mainly doing related research work in conservation biology and behavioral ecology. My research primarily focuses on the following areas:

  1. Evaluating and monitoring wildlife in both natural and human-altered habitats;

  2. Studying the ecological and behavioral adaptations of primates in challenging or degraded environments

  3. Investigating variations in group size and the evolution of social structures in primates, with a particular emphasis on golden snub-nosed monkeys;

  4. Examining how socio-ecological changes and resource dispersion influence primate evolutionary development and natural selection;

  5. Developing conservation strategies for China’s biodiversity by comprehensively exploring animal fossil sites, historical records, and current distribution patterns;

  6. Applying technology in animal facial recognition for wildlife monitoring and conservation.
