Abstract:Biodiversity databases are becoming more available and how to use online databases to explore the phenomenon we observed is becoming increasingly important in ecological research. Here, I will use several examples to show how to combine field observations, thoughts and ideas, based on large-datasets, to study large-scale biodiversity changes and inform practical conservation guidelines.Bio:Dr. Liu Jiajia is a young professor and doctoral supervisor at Fudan University.
