My research focused on freshwater communities in lakes and rivers. My research interests centered on benthic macroinvertebrates assemblages at different spatial-temporal scales, responses to multiple stressors (e.g., nutrient enrichment, climate warming), bioassessment based on multi-metric methods, food web in subtropical shallow lakes.
