Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Zifang Liu"
- Zifang Liu's research primarily focuses on the use of environmental DNA (eDNA) and ecological modeling to assess population genetics and habitat suitability of aquatic species, particularly in the context of climate change and environmental impact studies.
- In a recent study, Liu demonstrated that nuclear genetic material from eDNA could effectively resolve fine-scale population genetic structures in cichlid fish in Lake Masoko, underlining eDNA's potential in ecological and evolutionary research.
- Liu's work also includes evaluating the impacts of climate change on the habitat suitability of coldwater fish like Coregonus ussuriensis in northern China, projecting future scenarios based on temperature models that highlight sensitivity to rising water temperatures.
