Resume:

Dr Qiao's research is focused broadly on macroecology. He works to clarify the theory and methodology behind ecological niche modeling and species distribution modelling. In this realm, he has conducted pioneering work in understanding those modelling algorithms that perform best under different model configuration scenarios, and in examining how spatial bias affects model outcomes.

Dr Qiao has also developed a state-of-the-art simulation framework designed to understand the causal mechanisms that structure biodiversity on both long- and short-time scales. This simulation framework was written in multiply programming languages and uses realistic climate change scenarios and geographic landscapes combined with information on virtual species to test various hypotheses about how niche breadth, dispersal ability, and climate can generate differential patterns of biodiversity.
