Wei Liang

Wei Liang is a Professor at Hainan Normal University in Haikou, China, where he has been employed since October 2007. He holds a PhD from Beijing Normal University (1997-2000). His research focuses on behavioral ecology and coevolutionary dynamics, with specialization in avian brood parasitism systems, particularly cuckoo-host interactions across China.

Primary research interests include:

• Behavioral adaptations of birds to urbanization
• Coevolutionary arms races in avian brood parasitism
• Geographic variation in anti-parasite defenses
• Acoustic communication and deception in birds
• Urban ecology and conservation bioindicators

Liang's recent publications (2024-2025) demonstrate strong focus on:

• Avian responses to urban environments
• Cuckoo-host behavioral interactions
• Egg rejection cognition across species
• Acoustic signaling and deception
• Morphological predictors of avian traits

with fieldwork concentrated across diverse Chinese ecosystems.
