Our research mainly focuses on the response of insects to the elevated CO2, O3 and temperature. The effect of elevated CO2, O3 and temperature on many types of insect, such as cotton bollworm, aphids, whitefly, ladybeetles, parasitoid have been determined in OTCs. In addition, the population dynamics, community structure and function of pest and their natural enemies in cotton, rice, tea and forest ecosystem are analyzed to elucidate the mechanisms of pest outbreak based on the field investigation and indoor observation. Our main objective is to forecast the dynamic of insect under globe change, develop the theory of insect ecological management and to exploit new technique for controlling pest such as insect sex pheromones and other biological pesticides.

Interesting field:

• The effect of global climate changes on insect pests and natural enemies.
• Theories of the ecological management of insect pests and new technologies for controlling pest with environment- friendly pesticides.
• Soil-zoo ecology and the sustainable utilization
