中文摘要：

采用生态学研究方法和分子生物学技术,以滨海湿地鸟类等脊椎动物为研究对象,尤其以鹭科鸟类为主,研究动物多样性与环境的相互关系,分析鸟类繁殖生态及其关键环境影响因素,探讨滨海湿地鸟类食物链的污染物转移与富集规律,建立鸟类物种及性别的分子生物学鉴定技术,分析鹭科鸟类种群遗传多样性及其影响因素,探讨濒危物种的致危机制,以期促进生物多样性及其栖息地的保护.

英文摘要：

The research areas of animal ecology and conservation biology group in recent 10 years focus on the relationship between animal biodiversity and its environments,ecology and key impact factors of animal reproduction,contamination transfer and enrichment processes along the food chain of waterbirds,molecular techniques for identification of bird species or sex,population genetic diversity and its impact factors,endangered mechanism of rare and threaten animals,conservation of animal diversity and its habitats.The methods used in our studies are ecological or molecular and the animals focused are the vertebrates,especially ardeids and other waterbirds in coast wetlands.
