Research Interest

My researches are mainly on the social-behavior and biological conservation of the rare and endangered monkeys. We are especially like to know how the Qinling golden snub-nosed monkeys adapt to and tolerate the habitat fragmentation, and how they form a large group different from other species in Colobinae. Now, research field is focus on the primate behavior, ecology and evolution.
