The Animal Behavior and Environmental Change research group was established in June 2012 within the Centre for Integrative Conservation, Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden, Chinese Academy of Sciences. The group focuses on the highly biodiverse regions of tropical Southwest China and Southeast Asia, with study topics encompassing: 1) animal ecology (in particular seed dispersal and behavioral ecology), and 2) environmental change and conservation (particularly focused on the effects of habitat loss, fragmentation, and anthropogenic disturbance on avian and mammalian community distribution and composition).  

We welcome all graduate students and professional scientists with an interest in animal seed dispersal, behavioral ecology, and conservation to contact us for collaborations and join our research group.
