一、非線性動力學

能夠預測未來是科學的最終目標之一。如果是這樣，相反，預測能力可以有效地用於檢查系統動態。基於樣本外預測技巧，我們採用非線性時間序列技術來研究系統動力學。這些方法植根於系統吸引子的狀態空間重構理論。這些技術能夠區分自然時間序列中的低維非線性動力學和高維線性噪聲。使用這些非線性方法，我們研究了內在和外在過程對生物種群調節的相對貢獻，檢測潛在的生態系統響應環境變化的突然變化，表徵果蠅飛行行為的神經反饋控制，並且正在開發更多的應用程序。此外，我們擴展了這些方法以檢測生態系統組件之間的因果關係。這些方法用於改善生態系統管理，例如預測漁業資源規模以應對氣候變化和捕魚。這些方法最初是由教授開發的。George Sugihara（美國斯克里普斯海洋研究所）。

二、漁業

將環境變化的影響與捕魚的影響區分開來一直難以捉摸，但對於健全的漁業管理至關重要。隨著漁業管理政策轉向生態系統方法，了解捕撈和氣候的交互影響非常重要。使用從加州合作海洋漁業調查中收集的 50 年長的魚類時間序列數據調查中，我們開發了一種新方法，通過比較已開發和未開發的種群，在不斷變化的環境中檢查捕撈對魚類種群的影響。我們發現捕魚降低了面臨環境變化的魚類種群的複原力，並提高了被剝削種群的繁榮和蕭條。這種升高的變異性是由捕撈引起的年齡截斷效應 (ATE) 引起的，由於內在增長率等人口參數的變化，導致青少年種群的種群動態越來越不穩定。我們還發現，捕魚迫使被剝削的種群“將雞蛋放在一個籃子裡”，並降低了被剝削種群的空間異質性。我們繼續從數據中調查捕撈對被剝削種群年齡結構的影響，

三、台灣周邊生物海洋學

我們在台灣周邊的生物海洋學研究是多方面的。許多海洋學家一起工作。我們最近的重點是：

1. 三峽大壩對東海生態系統的影響（與龔國慶課題組）。我們是台灣最大的海洋團隊。我們的工作幾乎涵蓋了東海生態系統中的所有內容：物理、營養物質、細菌、初級生產、浮游植物、浮游動物、浮游魚類和漁業管理以及所有這些對生物地球化學循環和微量元素的影響。我們預計三峽大壩全面運行後，這個生態系統將發生巨大變化。

2. 魚游泳行為-水動力耦合模型研究日本鳀魚從東海到台灣沿海地區的遷移（與Yu-Heng Tzeng、Shih-Nan Chen和Sen Jan合作）。

3. 台灣周邊重要物種的漁業海洋學，如鳳尾魚、鯔魚和鰻魚。

4. 台灣周邊海域浮游動物數據庫。

四、氣候變化與湖泊生態

1. 了解氣候變化和人為影響的協同效應是湖泊系統中的一個熱門話題。我們使用長達 ​​40 年的浮游植物、浮游動物和魚類時間序列數據以及物理和化學測量值，研究了日本琵琶湖氣候和富營養化的影響。 

2. 我與Fuh-Kao Shiah（中央研究院）合作研究飛翠水庫的浮游動物生態學和浮游生物食物網。

五、社區結構因擾動而變化

我有興趣了解群落結構如何以及為什麼會沿著干擾梯度（例如污染）發生變化。 

1. 我們研究了小型哺乳動物腸道中的微生物群落和台灣周邊海域的微生物生物地理學（與Hon-Tsen Yu，Inst. Zool.，NTU）

2. 我們正在編譯現場數據並調查社區結構的模式以應對乾擾。我們的目標是發展理論來解釋觀察到的模式。該理論和方法可用於檢驗環境質量和生態系統保護。該項目與Norio Yamamura（日本人文與自然研究所）和Takeshi Miki（台灣 IONTU）、Michio Kondoh（日本琉球大學）和Kei Tokita （日本大阪大學）共同開展。 

六、浮游動物生態學

1. 帶有ZooScan和FlowCam的自動浮游動物分類系統。

2. 尺寸譜和尺寸-營養關係作為研究浮游生物食物網營養動力學的新方法。

3. 對浮游動物攝食和生長的環境影響。

4. Calanus pacificus在南加州地區的死亡率並研究死亡原因（與馬克·奧曼，斯克里普斯海洋研究所）。這是長期生態研究 (LTER)：加利福尼亞當前生態系統的一部分。
