Prominent studies by Associate Professor Cho-Ying Huang, Department of Geosciences, in collaboration with Academia Sinica published in prestigious journal “Science” (2016.3.25)

Ramifications of short-term meteorological variability on elevational range size   Spatial distributions of fauna are sensitive to climate variabilities. Classic ecological hypotheses have all suggested that greater seasonal climatic fluctuations will result in a wider species geographic distribution. These were proposed about a half century ago and have been heavily tested through the years. However, animals experience not only seasonal climatic but diurnal meteorological dynamics, and the latter one has rarely been addressed and investigated. A collaborative study led by Wei-Ping Chan and Sheng-Feng Shen of Academia Sinica, I-Ching Chen…

Assistant Professor Haojia Ren, with collaborators from the US, publishes several new studies in Nature, challenging the effects of iron fertilization on climate and the ocean

Haojia Ren Assistant professor / Department of Geoscience Assistant Professor Haojia Ren with collaborators from US publishing new study in Nature challenging the effect of iron fertilization on the global ocean and climate Dr. Haojia Ren, the assistant professor at Department of Geoscience, National Taiwan University, has been collaborating with researchers from Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory at Columbia University in the US, to test whether iron fertilization during the last ice age drives plankton growth in the equatorial Pacific and eventually leading to the removal of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.…

Prominent studies by NTU Institute of Oceanography research team published in prestigious journal “Proceedings of the Royal Society of London B” (February 2016)

Synergistic effects of predator and prey size diversity on trophic transfer efficiency in ocean ecosystems Carmen García-Comas and Chih-hao Hsieh Institute of Oceanography, National Taiwan University A group of scientists from the Institute of Oceanography, National Taiwan University, led by Dr. Carmen García-Comas and Prof. Chih-hao Hsieh, demonstrate that the interaction of predator and prey size diversities affects trophic transfer efficiency in marine plankton. This is the first study to analyze individual size structure at two trophic levels in plankton, and proposes mechanisms to explain variation of trophic transfer efficiency…
