The Ecological Acoustics and Spatial Ecology Lab is led by Associate Researcher Tuanmu Maoning and focuses on integrating ecological big data with statistical analysis tools. By examining the species and trait composition of biological communities, the team seeks to understand the spatiotemporal dynamics of biodiversity and explore the impact and implications of environmental changes. The goal is to use the power of science to promote friendly interactions between humans, wildlife, and the environment. Current research topics include the dynamics of biological communities in urban and agricultural ecosystems, the impact of green energy development on ecology, the dynamics of soundscapes under environmental change, and the evolution and diversity of bird eggs and nests. Individuals interested in biodiversity information and conservation are welcome to join our team!

Specialist in Biocommunity Analysis Research topics include monitoring soundscapes and utilizing AI for automatic recognition tools to study the spatiotemporal distribution of biological communities, and the factors and mechanisms affecting them.
