研究成果及奖励
在国际上首次通过结合分子生物学、形态学、生态学数据，重建了真虾下目长臂虾总科的分化历史，并对深海长臂虾类的起源进行了推测，提出了“共生生活的长臂虾类是由自由生活的长臂虾类演化而来的”和“共生生活的长臂虾类在演化过程中发生过多次宿主转移”等一系列假说，为研究甲壳动物的起源和演化问题开启了新的视角。
此外，还开展了大量深海无脊椎动物多样性的研究。在国内首次对热液和冷泉优势种种群的分布模式进行了比较；完成了首个深海等足类线粒体基因组的测定与分析；并在国内首次报道了深海俪虾类、阿蛄虾类、多鳞虫类和六放海绵之间的共生关系，探讨了物种分化与宿主多样性的相关性，为深海无脊椎动物的分布、物种形成与适应性研究提供了新的见解。
目前已建立和描述海洋无脊椎动物的2个新属、10个新种和多个新记录种。近期，在马里亚纳海沟发现的糠虾类Xenomysis unicornis 是我国海洋生物分类学研究人员已报道的甲壳动物新物种的最深记录。基于以上研究成果，申请人近年来已在《Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution》、《Frontiers in Marine Science》、《Invertebrate Systematics》、《Organisms Diversity & Evolution》、《Ecology and Evolution》、《Journal of Zoological Systematics and Evolutionary Research》、《Integrative Zoology》、《Deep-sea Research》、《PLOS One》等国际主流期刊发表研究论文24 篇，核心期刊5篇，并兼任《Zoologica Scripta》、《Zootaxa》、《Acta Oceanologica Sinica》等期刊的审稿专家。
