About me
I am Jiangyue Wang (王江月), currently a second-year graduate student specializing in Wildlife Ecology at the School of Life Sciences, Peking University. But I will soon leave this program and join the Quantitative Ecology and Resource Management (QERM) program of the University of Washington in September this year!
My research is centered around the study of large carnivores in the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau, with a particular focus on understanding their seasonal dietary preferences, spatial utilization patterns, and interactions with human-related activities. Over the past several months, my work has encompassed diverse aspects of wildlife ecology, including habitat classification through remote sensing techniques, individual identification and population estimation of snow leopards using the Spatial Capture-Recapture (SCR) framework, animal movement modeling, and an investigation into the changes in pheasant habitat over the past decade in response to the presence and removal of free-ranging livestock.
If you share an interest in any of these research or simply wish to connect and discuss, I am eager to engage in conversations. Please feel free to reach out!
Current research projects
Animal movement modeling: Investigating nomadic movement patterns in large solitary carnivores and developing a novel framework for quantifying nomadism.
Impact of land use change on wildlife: Examining the impact of reduced livestock and forbidden grazing on habitat selection and range shifts of local wildlife using multi-year transect surveys in Giant Panda National Park
