I am a soil ecologist and earthworm biologist broadly interested in population and community ecology, ecosystem ecology, molecular ecology, phylogenetics, biogeography, and biodiversity. My work focuses on understanding the biodiversity of soil invertebrates, their ecology and interactions in the decomposer subsystem, and the mechanisms through which these organisms mediate the interactions of belowground and aboveground communities in forest, agriculture, and urban ecosystems. Addressing these broad while interconnected topics requires an integrative approach, including, but not limited to, molecular phylogenetics, environmental DNA analysis, stable isotope technique, microbial analysis, and C and N biogeochemistry.

I used to study in the department of drama and major in lighting design. However, after numerous performance and itinerary works in the department, I felt lost in abstract and never-ending pursuit of aesthetic. So I stepped out of comfort zone and dedicated myself to the realm of ecology and evolution. I enjoy exploring how life has gone on for hundreds of thousands of years. It is intriguing for me to immerse in field work and observe interesting phenomena. Now, I focus on diversity and functional groups of springtails in Taiwan. Springtails are a kind of microarthropods living in the soil with diversified morphology and ecological function. I am also concerned with impact of climate change on organisms as well as ecological conservation. I expect myself not only to keep an open mind to explore the wonder of nature, but to face a variety of ecological problems and make changes.

I am an observer. Using the simplest mechanism to explain what I have observed is my hobby. Currently, I am observing the distribution patterns of soil mesoarthropods in noncontinuous habitats (bird's nest fern), and hoping to explain them by a simplest mechanism. For example, I can find a mechanism that only using the differences of mobility, or adding few conditions, is enough to explain the patterns. I am also hard-working at trying to link the soil spatial structure and several properties of soil ecosystem, such as high biodiversity, complex trophical level and parthenogenetic reproduction. Now, I release the reins of my imaginations, making them freely explore the soil world. In the future, I wish they will touch other ecosystem.
我是一位觀察家,並且用最簡單的機制解釋我看到的現象是我的樂趣。 我現在正在觀察小型土壤節肢動物群落在非連續棲地(山蘇)的分布模式,並且期待用最簡單的機制解釋。例如提出一種機制,使得僅僅因為移動能力的差異,或加上少許條件,就足以解釋觀察到的分布模式。 同時我也努力於試圖將土壤空間結構與土壤生態系的各種特性—如高多樣性、複雜的營養階層及孤雌生殖—連結起來。 現在的我放開思想的韁繩,讓它們自由探索土壤世界。但未來,我期許它們能碰觸更多不同的生態系統。 |

高中時加入生物社啟蒙了我對生物的興趣,當時為了看遍台灣的蛇類而親自踏上了這片土地的山林,讓我更想深入了解並保護台灣充滿活力的生態系。在植微系接觸到線蟲學之後,我想深入了解這些生活在土壤中的小生物所以到了這裡。線蟲在植物寄生性及秀麗隱桿線蟲等的研究都有非常多前輩投入,但對其他線蟲的研究相對起來卻不太透徹,而且我也非常喜歡進行野外工作,所以我覺得我很適合投入這個研究。未來想更了解線蟲及土地利用變遷的關係,探討線蟲及環境的交互作用。

I have a strong interest in understanding the population genetic structure, phylogeny, and phylogeography of animals. I am currently investigating intraspecific genetic differences in invasive earthworms, their molecular evolutionary process, and their interactions with soil microbes. I am also planning to explore whether adaptation to a new environment has led to physiological, behavioral, and/or genetic changes in these invasive soil invertebrates.

I saw my first pseudoscorpions at the age of 13—tiny, black, scorpion-like arthropods that waved their pedipalps at me. From that day on, I decided to learn more about these fascinating creatures. I joined this lab as a freshman, and I spend most of my time working with pseudoscorpions. I always feel excited and energized just by observing them. I found myself interested in systematics, molecular evolution, population genetics, biogeography, and ecology. Most studies about pseudoscorpions focus solely on taxonomy, so I hope to conduct more pseudoscorpion studies that cover not only taxonomy but also other fields. My goal is to unveiling the mysteries of pseudoscorpions and contributing to a deeper understanding of these remarkable tiny creature.

從小熱愛生物,喜歡觀察動植物,收集蟬蛻、觀察昆蟲、採集植物,是我小時候的日常。我很早就確立了對生物研究的興趣,大學期間就讀於中興大學生命科學系,在這段期間我開始深入了解生態學,並確認了自己對生態領域的喜愛。目前地球生態系統面臨著多項問題,外來物種入侵便是造成生態系統失衡的主因之一。我相當感興趣於外來物種之間的交互作用,計劃研究外來種蚯蚓和外來種植物彼此之間是否存在互相促進的作用。

From exploring nature to observing the biota, I am broadly interested in studying biodiversity and biogeography, particularly in Taiwan. Currently, I am looking into the biodiversity of soil invertebrates and the interaction between soil faunas and soil microbes in extreme environments. The structure of soil microbial communities is mainly affected by environmental conditions. Assessing the metabolic potential and activities of soil microbial communities and how these organisms may change the carbon cycle has been the focus of ecological research. I am hoping to explore how the interaction between soil invertebrates and microbes affect ecosystem functions (such as C biogeochemical).
在自然的生態環境進行生物觀察是我最熱愛的事。對於研究台灣的生物多樣性及生物地理學有濃厚的興趣。目前想要積極探索在極端環境下,土壤無脊椎動物的生物多樣性,以及土壤動物與微生物相互作用。土壤微生物群落的結構主要受環境條件的影響,評估土壤微生物群落的代謝潛力和活動作為碳循環變化的驅動力一直是生態研究的重點。未來期望將土壤動物以及微生物交互作用與當前的生態系統功能(例如C的生物地球化學循環)聯繫起來。 |

從小在農村長大,農田就是我探索自然生態的第一場域!從大學時期正式踏入生態領域,喜歡生態學及野外調查。生物多樣性的流失是當今重視的問題,棲地的破壞及劣化造成大面積及大幅度的負面影響,當原始棲地被破壞殆盡時,農耕地反而成為了生物們的避難所,因此希望能從科學研究找出有利於生物多樣性的農業方式,在人為利用及生物多樣性間找到權衡點。相信每個努力的階段都會為未來帶來驚喜。
