2002年毕业于云南大学生物学基地班,2007年在中国科学院植物研究所获博士学位并留所工作,历任助理研究员、副研究员、研究员。目前担任中国植物学会系统与进化植物学专业委员会委员、中国地理学会生物地理专业委员会委员,《生物多样性》、Systematic notes on the materials of P.N. Krylov Herbarium of Tomsk State University、Journal of Systematics and Evolution、Plant Diversity等期刊编委。主要从事植物多样性形成与演变研究,主持了国家自然科学基金之青年基金、面上基金(5项)、国际合作项目(3项),是中国科学院战略性先导科技专项(B类)的课题负责人,国家自然科学基金委重大项目、中国科学院“知识创新工程重要方向项目”和国家科技部“重大科学研究计划项目”的子课题负责人。近年来在“植物分类学与系统发育”、“植物时空格局与区系地理”和“植物多样性进化与植被形成”等研究方面取得了重要成果。迄今以第一或通讯作者在PNAS (3篇)、NSR (2篇)、Nat Commun、Trends Evol Ecol、Syst Biol、Evolution等国际主流刊物上发表论文81篇。2014年入选中国科学院青年创新促进会,2015年被遴选为中国科学院大学岗位教授,2022年入选“中国科学院特聘研究岗位(骨干)”并获中国科学院朱李月华优秀教师奖,2023年获吴征镒植物学奖“青年创新奖”,2024年获“中国科学院优秀导师”称号。指导研究生多人获中国科学院“院长优秀奖”、“朱李月华优秀博士生奖”等,1人入选首届中国科协青年科技人才培育工程“博士生专项计划”、1人博士论文入选“中国科学院优秀博士学位论文”。 主要研究内容: 1. 植物分类学与系统发育 植物分类学作为自然科学的一门学科已有近300年的历史,是人类探索和认知植物多样性的根基,也是植物学各分支学科的基础。整合形态和系统发育历史,我们可以为被子植物类群提出合理自然的分类系统;同时,以特定植物类群为对象,探讨分类学在生物多样性保护中的作用。 2. 植物时空格局与区系地理 地理分布主题被达尔文称为生命规律之基石。诠释生物地理分布格局及其成因是分类学研究的延伸,也是理解不同地区物种组成和丰富度差异的关键。以代表性植物类群为研究对象,我们可以揭示特定植物区系的形成历史,并为重要地质事件提供生物学证据。 3. 植物多样性进化与植被形成 生物在地球上的分布并非随机的,而是受各种环境制约。阐明生物多样性进化动态及其相关植被的形成过程是生物学领域的基本问题之一。以特征类群为指示成分或多类群整合分析,我们可以揭示各种重要植被的进化历史,阐明特定区域生物多样性的形成过程及其机制。 主持和参加的科研项目 国家自然科学基金国际合作重点项目“世界毛茛目植物的超大系统发育树和物种多样性形成研究”(W2611028; 2027.01–2031.12),主持人 国家自然科学基金国际(地区)合作与交流项目(组织间合作研究—NSFC-RSF)“青藏高原和北极被子植物区系的联系和进化机制研究”(32361133549; 2024.01–2026.12),主持人 中国科学院特别交流计划项目(B 类)“青藏高原与北极被子植物间断分布格局形成研究”(2024.01–2025.12), 主持人 国家重点研发计划“全球变化对重要陆地野生物种资源及其保护成效的影响评估与风险预估技术”(2023YFF0805800; 2023.12–2028.11),主持子课题“全球变化影响下重要陆地物种的适应性机制” 国家自然科学基金委面上项目“防己科的系统发育和时空演化:整合现生和化石类群”(32170210; 2022.01–2025.12),主持人 国家自然科学基金委国际(地区)合作与交流项目“毛茛科物种水平的系统发育与形态性状的进化研究”(32011530072; 2020.07–2022.06),主持人 中国科学院战略性科技先导专项(B 类)“大尺度区域生物多样性格局与生命策略”(XDB31030000; 2018.07–2023.6),主持课题“亚热带森林生物多样性形成和演化规律” 国家自然科学基金委面上项目“罂粟科植物的系统发育和时空演化”(31770231; 2018.01–2021.12),主持人 国家自然科学基金委面上项目“白刺科系统发育与生物地理研究”(31770233; 2018.01–2021.12),主持人 中国科学院战略性科技先导培育专项(B 类)“大尺度区域生物多样性格局与生命策略”(XDB020304; 2017.07–2018.7),主持子课题“亚热带常绿阔叶林的起源和环境驱动力” 国家自然科学基金委面上项目“防己科的系统发育和多样化与现代热带雨林的起源和进化”(31470315; 2015.01–2018.12),主持人 中国科学院青年创新促进会专项经费(2014.01–2017.12),主持人 国家科技部重大科学研究计划项目“西南山地典型生态系统植物多样性对气候变化的响应”(2014CB954100; 2014.01-2018.8),三级课题负责人 国家自然科学基金委面上项目“毛茛科植物的系统发育和多样化:生态机会和关键创新”(31270269; 2013.01–2016.12),主持人 国家自然科学基金委青年项目“快速辐射类群毛茛亚科植物的系统发育研究”(30800059; 2009.01–2011.12),主持人 国家自然科学基金委重大项目“禾本科植物的适应性辐射及其进化机制”(O3111A2001; 2010.01–2013.12),主持子课题“禾本科适应性辐射与其他生物类群相关性及协同进化的研究” 中国科学院知识创新工程重要方向项目“DNA条形码与类群分子系统进化研究”(KSCX2-EW-Z-2; 2011.01–2013.12),主持子课题“广义五味子科的DNA条形码和系统发育” 中国科学院大科学装置开放研究项目“植物DNA条形码研究”(2009-LSF-GBOWS-01; 2009.07–2011.06),主持子课题“木通科植物DNA条行码研究” 研究论文(注§为共同第一作者, *为通讯作者) 2026 - Peng HW, Hai LS, Li XQ, Ortiz RDC, Jabbour F, Wang W*. 2026.
