June 2018. Congratulations to our two Master students, HE Ruchuan and ZHOU Wenjing, who successfully defended their theses, about the diversity of herbaceous plants in agricultural landscapes of Nanning (Wenjing) and the effect of mimic frequencies on predation in a Batesian mimicry system (Ruchuan).
We are excited to announce that Ph.D. student JIANG Demeng received the Chinese Government Scholarship to finance his upcoming project at the University of Florida, USA. He will study there the content of the call of nuclear species in mixed-species flocks, under the supervision of Prof. Kathryn E. Sieving from the Department of Wildlife and Conservation.
Additionally, our Associate Professor, JIANG Aiwu was interviewed by Jiangxi TV to introduce the current situation of Nonggang babbler. Another very recent reportage on this subject has been broadcasted by the GuangxiTV, with the contribution of our master student XIE Qiao (see links below).

Welcome to the Behavioral & Community Ecology, Conservation Biology Group, College of Forestry, University of Guangxi!
We are interested in studying aspects of animal behavior and community ecology that have implications for conservation, especially for tropical and subtropical China.
Opportunities
The Behavioral and Community Ecology, Conservation Biology Group is excited to offer opportunities for three-year MSc or PhD projects. This year we are particularly interested in recruiting students who are interested in conservation biology and would like to work on one of the projects offered by Associate Prof. Christos Mammides.
Dr. Mammides is interested in studying the mechanisms by which anthropogenic activities affect biodiversity, and in exploring the socio-economic factors that drive those activities. Dr. Mammides is also interested in quantifying the effectiveness of the various types of protected areas, and in assessing the effects of those areas on local peoples’ livelihoods.
Applicants should contact Dr. Mammides (cmammides@outlook.com), before January the 15th, 2018, attaching a CV, a short project proposal (<750 words), and the e-mail addresses of three references. Review of the applications will begin immediately.
