Louise A. Ashton Hong Kong, China

My research goals are to understand biodiversity, how ecosystems function and how they are changing due to human activity. I started the Biodiversity and Environmental Change Lab at the University of Hong Kong in 2018, where we use insects as ecological tools to understand our changing world. We have several projects investigating how insect biodiversity is shifting with climate change, and habitat loss, as well as the restoration of ecosystems to mitigate these impacts.
