Theoretical Ecology (Fall 2018)

My research interest is to develop new theory and conduct theory-driven data analysis to understand the causes and consequences of biodiversity loss. My recent studies attemp to extend the Biodiversity-Ecosystem Functioning (BEF) research to a multi-scale and multi-trophic framework.

We always welcome motivated students and postdocs to join the group! Please send an email to: shaopeng.wang@pku.edu.cn
