蜥蜴生態研究室 Lizard Ecology Lab

生理生態學、  兩棲爬蟲學、  生物物理模式
Physiological Ecology, Herpetology, Biophysic Models

我們研究爬蟲動物的各式生態議題，例如牠們與環境因子的交互作用，生理及行為如何影響棲地利用、生活史特徵、地理分布及對氣候變遷之敏感度。對象包含高海拔蜥蜴，平地的森林物種及外來種。經常使用的研究方法包含溫度生理實驗、野外調查、路殺資料庫分析及機制性模式(Biophysical models)應用。近年研究主題: 

一、 機制性模式之研發與創新 

二、 研究外溫動物的生態表現及對氣候變遷的敏感性 

三、 高山兩棲爬蟲類之抗凍能力

We study various ecological issues related to reptile species, such as their interactions with environmental factors, how physiology and behavior influence habitat use, life history traits, geographic distribution, and sensitivity to climate change. Our subjects include high-altitude lizards, forest species in lowland areas, and invasive species. Frequently used research methods include thermal physiology experiments, field surveys, roadkill database analysis, and the application of mechanistic models (biophysical models).

Recent research topics include:

1. Development and innovation of mechanistic models

2. Studying the ecological performance of ectothermic animals and their sensitivity to climate change

3. Freeze tolerance in high-altitude amphibians and reptiles
