Research Area：
Accurate prediction of the impact of climate change on pest insects is a major challenge. My interests mainly focus on 1) how global warming will affect geographical distribution and population growth of pest insects; 2) how insects mitigate the impact of warming by behavioral thermoregulation, physiological acclimation and/or adaptive evolution. By integrate these understandings, we can establish simulation models for predicting population dynamics of pest insects in the context of ongoing climate change. Besides, I am also interest in non-chemical and environment-friendly strategies for insect pest management.
