Educational experience：

BSc: Biology, Northeast Normal University, 1992 Master: Zoology, Northeast Normal University, 1998 PhD: Ecology, Northeast Normal University, 2001

Statement：

I am working on the effects of environmental changes on the distribution, density, reproductive success of passerines. My main interests are in raptor population ecology, territory behavior, migration, and breeding ecology. I use stable isotope method to test food chain characteristics and dispersal behavior in Ural Owl in northeast China. I am also interested in conservation of endangered pheasant. I won the Fok Yingdong education fund in 2006. Be elected in New Century Talent Supporting Project by education ministry in 2007.
