Biography

Huijie Qiao is a researcher at the Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences.

His work broadly explores macroecology, with a particular focus on clarifying the theoretical and methodological foundations of ecological niche modeling (species distribution modeling).

He has also developed a simulation framework aimed at understanding the causal mechanisms that shape biodiversity across both long- and short-term scales. This framework, implemented in multiple programming languages, utilizes virtual and realistic climate change scenarios alongside geographic landscapes and virtual species data to test hypotheses about how factors such as niche breadth, dispersal ability, evolutionary strategies, and climate influence biodiversity patterns.

Additionally, he has contributed to the collection, sharing, and analysis of biodiversity data, as well as to research on biodiversity conservation issues derived from these datasets.
