Zhang Xiaoli joined the lab in September 2023 as a PhD student. Xiaoli received her master’s degree from Guangxi Normal University. For her PhD, Xiaoli focuses on assessing the distribution of amphibians in Northeast Asia in relation to climate change and conservation. Xiaoli specializes in species distribution modeling and land use and habitat quality modeling. Before joining the lab, Xiaoli published a paper entitled “Potential impact of land-use change on habitat quality in the distribution range of crocodile lizards in China” in Ecology and Evolution, and a paper entitled “The impact of land-use change on habitat quality in the distribution range of crocodile lizards in China” in Animals.
张小丽于2023年9月作为博士生加入实验室。小丽就读于广西师范大学并获得硕士学位。她在《Ecology and Evolution》杂志上发表了题为“Potential impact of land-use change on habitat quality in the distribution range of crocodile lizards in China”的论文，在《Animals》杂志上发表题为“Climate change and dispersal ability jointly affects the future distribution of crocodile lizards”的论文。小丽主要致力于评估东北亚两栖动物的分布与气候变化和保护的关系。她擅长物种分布模型构建、土地利用与生境质量模型分析。
