气候变化和人类活动显著改变生物分布格局与种群数量，其引发的生态功能变迁已影响人类社会运转，且正持续加剧。生物群落对环境变化的响应往往不是渐变式的。互作网络中“牵一发而动全身”的现象频发，其非线性响应特征使传统的单一物种预测模型面临重大挑战。本课题组注重野外和实验室的实证研究，并结合分子生物学技术和种群动态模型，在无脊椎动物系统（尤其是果蝇-寄生蜂群落）中研究（1）生物群落在极端气候下的生态与演化响应，（2）物种互作网络中的物种共存和动态调控机制，（3）全球变化下昆虫的分布、数量和生态功能变化。

请有意加入本课题组的本科生、硕士研究生、博士研究生将CV发至我邮箱并请简述研究兴趣和经历。课题组现正积极招收科研助理和博士后（并为博士后申请各类校级、省级、国家级科研与人才项目提供支持），欢迎邮件联系（jlchen(AT)nju.edu.cn）。

Climate change is drastically reshaping species distributions and populations, with cascading ecological impacts already disrupting human societies—and intensifying. Community responses are often not gradual, their nonlinear nature challenge traditional methods to predict the vulnerability and sensitivity of biodiversity to climate change. Our research group focuses on the empirical research conducted in the field and lab, in combination with molecular techniques and mathematical modelling. Using invertebrate systems (especially fruit fly – parasitoid communities), we investigate (1) the eco-evolutionary dynamics of biological communities driven by extreme climatic events, (2) mechanisms regulating coexistence and numerical dynamics within species interaction networks, (3) insect distribution and their ecological functions under global changes.

We welcome prospective students (undergraduates, Master's and PhD) to apply by sending me your CV and a brief personal statement (outlining your research interests, motivations, and relevant background). We are also actively recruiting a lab manager and postdocs—please contact me for details (jlchen(AT)nju.edu.cn).
