I am a postdoctoral researcher from china. My focus on the odonata biodiversity patterns and drivers, how urbanization affects the community assembly in freshwater, and how drying affects the functioning stability of tropical streams.

Species shift their ranges in response to climate change, but many can't keep up. The resulting "community-climate disequilibrium" can impair ecosystem function and cause counterintuitive dynamics, like short-term gain but long-term loss onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
Linking Community‐Climate Disequilibrium to Ecosystem Function
When turnover in species composition lags behind the pace of climate change, community-climate disequilibrium increases. We, for the first time, explicitly link this disequilibrium to ecosystem funct...

We also develop methods and maintain betapart, an R package for beta diversity partitioning and distance-decay.
Here we explain why we are interested in Invertebrate Biogeography.
