Yung-Chi is currently an undergrad at the Dept. Life Science, NTU, co-supervised by myself and Dr. Chih-Ming Hung. She plans to start her master's degree in the summer of 2024. She has experience of working on the blue magpie study during her internship in Dr. Hung's lab at Academia Sinica. She is currently working on a project investigating prey visual perception toward different predatory stimuli and will continue to finalize this project in her master study. 

Yung-Chi's research won 2026 ISBE Travel Award!

Chieh-Li is an enthusiastic animal lover with experience in keeping various reptiles and arthropods, as well as in wildlife photography. His current research investigates how habitat fragmentation influences the mating behaviors of fiddler crabs, with a particular focus on identifying the underlying ecological and behavioral mechanisms.

Huang Jia-Yun is a senior at NTNU, majoring in Education with a double major in Life Science. She has a strong passion for nature and biodiversity, and her current research focuses on changes in animal food webs as species transition from natural habitats to urban environments. In her spare time, she enjoys music and exercise. Her interests include citizen science, ecological education, and research on changes in food webs, and she hopes to contribute meaningfully to the development of ecological education in the future.

Rochelle is a student at NTNU pursuing a double major in Life Science and Geography. Her keen interest in biogeography drives her current research proposal, which aims to investigate the relationship among biogeography, phylogeny, and the spatial distribution of fiddler crabs worldwide. In addition to her studies in biology and geography, Rochelle enjoys reading about sociology and philosophy. She believes that sociology and biology can mutually illuminate each other, much like how Wallace and Darwin were inspired by Malthus's An Essay on the Principle of Population to develop the concept of natural selection.

Yu Jie is a second-year Life Science student at NTNU with a strong interest in animal behavior and neuroscience. Since her sophomore year, she has been visiting the mangroves to observe and collect data on the courtship behaviors of fiddler crabs. She is actively involved in a lab project that investigates the variation in male courtship waves and the ecological and evolutionary mechanisms driving this variation. Additionally, Yu Jie is developing her own undergraduate research project focused on the function of UV-reflective claws in fiddler crabs. Outside of her research, she enjoys sports, reading, and traveling. Her ultimate goal is to pursue a Ph.D. abroad and contribute her expertise to the field of biology in Taiwan.

Yu-Ling is a third-year student in the Department of Life Sciences at National Taiwan Normal University, focusing her research on behavioral ecology and intertidal research. Currently, she is involved in the same lab project as Yu-Jie, where she conducts courtship wave analysis to identify the key elements in male courtship waves that stimulate female preferences using a robotic crab device. By exploring the diverse behavioral repertoire of fiddler crabs, Yu-Ling aims to develop her undergraduate research project and subsequently pursue a master's degree related to her research interests. In addition to her academic pursuits, she enjoys painting, cooking, and solo travel.
