2011年5月8-13日，我组郝占庆研究员，博士生原作强、白雪娇、赵玉强，硕士生邢丁亮参加了在广州中山大学举办的“生物多样性与理论生态学国际研讨会（International Symposium for Biodiversity and Theoretical Ecology）”（会议主页：http://ecology.sysu.edu.cn/index.html）。

此次会议是由中山大学余世孝教授、北京师范大学张大勇教授和中山大学何芳良教授召集的，来自美、加、奥、英、德、荷、中等七个国家的13位国际知名的理论生态学家(介绍附后)做了特邀报告。来自中大、兰大、华东师大、南大、北大等多所大学，中科院、林科院等多家科研院所的31位研究生与年轻老师介绍他们的工件，我组白雪娇、赵玉强、邢丁亮分别做了题为"Biotic and abiotic control of shrub dynamics: comparing two temperate forest plots"、"Towards the origin of habitat filtering and species coexistence: combining functional traits and ecolo gical unified principles"、"The relationship between spatial and phylogenetic distances among species in an old-growth temperate forest in north-eastern China"的研究生报告。

会议期间，白雪娇、赵玉强、邢丁亮就他们的工作分别与Sean Connolly、Robert Colwell、Rample Etienne等专家进行了交流。
