His work has led to the publication of over 100 journal articles, establishing him as a renowned primatologist and conservationist both domestically and globally. Among his prominent project, he's particularly interested in understanding how the Qinling golden snub-nosed monkeys adapt to and tolerate the habitat fragmentation and cold winter, and how they form a large group in the forest different from other species in Colobinae.  Currently, in addition to be a Professor at the College of Life Sciences, Northwest University, he holds the position of President of the China Primatological Society and serves as the Vice-President of the Chinese Society of Zoology. In 2024, he got Well Deserved Award of Chimelong from the 4th China Zoological Society. 01 eng 08 178 03 01 20 Primates;China;primate species;conservation;protection strategies 10 2011 SCI087000 29 CLIL3065 29 CLIL4042 29 CLIL4044 01 580 05 06 06 03 00 This book systematically integrates fossil records of primates since the Pliocene to illustrate their dispersal and radiation routes in East Asia and reconstruct historical changes in their distribution using Chinese literature records. This book mainly compiles contemporary records of 28 primate species (classified under 3 families and 8 genera) with confirmed distribution within China as of August 2022. Each species entry documents critical parameters including geographical range, population estimates, current habitat status, and key threats impacting their survival. For species with global distributions, the work incorporates official IUCN Red List of Threatened Species assessments. Regarding China-endemic species, dedicated threat evaluations have been conducted following standardized criteria. Synthesizing these findings, this book proposes prioritized conservation measures for key Chinese primates. Furthermore, it develops comprehensive protection strategies informed by the integrated dataset, ultimately aiming to provide a scientific foundation for endangered status evaluations and evidence-based conservation management.  02 00 This book compiles contemporary records of 28 primate species with confirmed distribution within China.
