>> RESEARCH INTERESTS:
I mainly focus on the molecular phylogeny and evolution of insects. Currently, based on small molecular fragments and the complete mitochondrial genome, and combined other research methods such as comparative morphology, geometric morphology to explore the evolution and phylogeny of Chrysomelidae. At the same time, I also focus on the systematics and taxonomy of subfamily Galerucinae.
