Introduction / 簡介

Dr. Yang Liu is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Entomology at the University of Manitoba, Canada. Her research focuses on insect systematics, taxonomy, and pest control, with specific expertise in the phylogeny and diversity of leafhoppers (Empoascini) and tumbling flower beetles (Mordellidae). He integrates traditional morphology with modern molecular techniques, such as DNA barcoding, to address pest management challenges in agriculture and forestry.

Dr. Yang Liu目前擔任加拿大曼尼托巴大學昆蟲學系的助理教授。他的研究重心在於昆蟲的分類學與害蟲防治,特別是針對小葉蟬與花蚤的系統演化與多樣性研究。他致力於整合傳統形態學與現代分子生物學技術(如 DNA 條碼),以解決農業與林業中的害蟲問題。
