水生植物适应性进化与群落构建：

重点关注水生植物的物种形成、适应性变异、以及生态位分化等现象，探讨变化环境下水生植物群落的动态响应机制，支撑水生植被修复与管理。

适应性变异伴随着物种的进化过程，是物种应对生存竞争的重要手段。通过对区域尺度多种沉水植物形态特征、功能性状、生态位以及群落结构研究，揭示了沉水植物采用非常丰富的适应性机制来维持物种适合度，发现适应性变异引起的生态位分化影响了沉水植物群落构建过程，揭示了“多样性——群落稳定性——生态系统功能”之间的响应关系。

1.      揭示多种沉水植物适应性变异对维持适合度的贡献

揭示了沉水植物这一类群具有非常丰富的适应性机制，可通过形态、生理和个体间克隆整合策略的变异，维持适合度以适应多种生境。揭示了眼子菜属多个物种可通过自然杂交使后代获得更高适合度，并经由营养繁殖维持其适合度及种群扩张的机制，该研究部分阐释了眼子菜属植物在全球多样生境中广泛分布并呈现较高物种多样性的现象。

2.      发现微齿眼子菜种子对其母本生境的“记忆”现象

微齿眼子菜能够形成与生长水深相匹配的适应性变异，而我们发现微齿眼子菜种子萌发所需的适宜水深与其母本的生长水深具有高度一致性，这一现象表明母体可通过此途径将其对水深的适应性传给子代，维持子代的适合度，从而奠定种群在异质生境中的分化基础。

3.      定量评价沉水植物生态位，揭示适应性变异对群落构建的影响

获得了洱海多种沉水植物的分布水深生态位，阐释了沉水植物群落沿水深梯度的群落构建机制，为洱海生态水位调控提供科学支撑。揭示了沉水植物适应性变异引起的生态位分化是维持群落稳定性的重要因素。阐释了沉水植物群落稳定性维持机制在时空尺度上的变异模式，为水生植物群落重建提供支撑。
