Academic background

Research interests

- Modelling species distributions using environmental variables as predictors.
Many species may has number of record but their distributions may still not be well studied. Fitting their observed records with environmental variables may help to understand their distribution and how they response to climate. The results may useful for conservation purposes in the future such as pest control, habitat improving, and translocation program.

- Studying response of species to warming climate in terms of altering their distribution range.
Species distributions are usually related with the climate variables. Species may expand, retract, or shift their distribution range under future warming climate. This changes need to concern in either way. Expansion of species distribution range may alter the species composition in new community they may colonise. Retraction of species distribution range may leed them to extionction and then community loss the resisitance to ecosystem disturbance.

- Evaluating effectiveness of protected areas in terms of conserving biodiversity.
Generally, protected areas were established by political and economical criteria rather than biological basis. To protect the biodiversity, species data is need to adding in management. Species data are important in order to locate the area where able to maintain the biodiversity most. Area prioritization may help us to conserve species in the protected area more effective or finding the important area for conserving biodiversity.

Research projects

- The extinction risk of protected butterflies under climate warming.

- Responses of butterflies on rising temperature

- Altering of spatial effectiveness of protected area under climate warming using species richness as indicator

-The studies on effects of host plant species on growth and fitness of Troides aeacus
