Research

Taxonomy, phylogenomic and biogeography.
Freshwater habitats occupy only 0.01% of the Earth's water bodies, yet freshwater fish species make up half of all fish species, known as the "freshwater fish paradox." Freshwater gobiids (Sleepers and genus i_Rhinogobius_i) are one of the most abundant freshwater fishes native to east Asia. I am currently working on the taxonomy, phylogeny and adaptive radiation of these taxa. My study will provide a new perspective on the drivers of freshwater fish specieation theory and offer theoretical support for evolutionary research and biodiversity conservation efforts in freshwater fish species.
