Amy Liu

Amy Liu is a Research Fellow in the School of Biological Sciences at Monash University, specializing in entomology and ecophysiology with focus on soil microarthropods. Her work directly contributes to UN Sustainable Development Goals related to life on land and climate action.

Her research centers on the physiological adaptations of Collembola (springtails) in extreme environments, particularly examining desiccation tolerance and thermal adaptation mechanisms in the biodiverse Cape Floristic Region. Key interests include invasive species dynamics, climate change impacts on invertebrates, and conservation physiology of soil biodiversity.

Liu's recent publications reveal strong emphasis on thermal tolerance extremes in endemic species and competitive advantages of invasive springtails. Her work integrates field ecology with physiological experiments to address climate adaptation challenges in biodiversity hotspots.

She maintains active international collaborations across multiple countries as indicated by her research network visualizations, with significant readership on Mendeley and social media engagement.
