Fieldwork, collections, and biodiversity data

Much of my research relies on biodiversity data collected and curated by others. As a heavy user of these resources, I value the effort behind generating them and have contributed to collaborative projects involving fieldwork, museum collections, and digital resources. I hope to continue contributing to these efforts as part of my future research.

• Bird nest trait database: Compiled and standardized global bird nest trait data from literature and online resources for macroecological analyses (Chia et al. 2023).
• Bird morphological traits: Measuring morphological traits from museum specimens as part of collaborative efforts to expand trait datasets (ongoing).
• Soundscape monitoring: Managed ~10 long-term passive acoustic monitoring sites in Taiwanese forests for soundscape studies (Asian Soundscape Monitoring Network).
• Moth surveys and experiments: Assisted with collecting moth assemblage data and conducting thermal tolerance experiments along elevational gradients (e.g. Liu et al. 2026).
• Bat surveys and experiments: Contributed to surveys of wind turbine-related bat mortality in Taiwan, including carcass searches, mist netting, acoustic monitoring, and scavenger-removal experiments (media).
