Research Fields
Fish Biodiversity, Biodiversity Informatics
Major Research Achievements (2009-2013)
  • On Systematics, 7 new fish species were described and another two SCI papers related to the identification of fish eggs using morphology and DNA sequences were published, together with one book entitled “Identification Guide of Fish Eggs in Taiwan Waters”; on ecology, 6 SCI papers were published on the community and ecosystem trophic modeling at Chi-Ku lagoon and Tamshui estuary; on evolution, the molecular phylogenies of gobies and damselfishes were published. In addition, our website “Fish Database of Taiwan” (http://fishdb.sinica,edu.tw) attracts more than 30,000 hits a month. We also coordinated and established a website of “Taiwan Biodiversity Information network (TaiBNET)” (http://taibnet.sinica.edu.tw).
