在鳥類行為生態和遺傳進化領域取得了系列進展：包括整合種群譜系特徵，分析重要表型性轉的遺傳和進化；通過不同物種和種群比較來研究表型和遺傳的分化；採用大數據分析聯合國際多個實驗室，總結和揭示了170多個鳥類物種重要繁殖行為策略的模式和相關影響機制；代表鳥類物種不同繁殖策略的適合度差異等。相關論文發表在Nature Communications, The Innovation、Plos Biology、Evolution、Nature Ecology&Evoltion、 Animal Behaviour、The American Naturalist、Journal of Animal Ecology 和Journalof Applied Ecology等知名期刊上。
