His topics include the circulation of animals and animal products in the South and East China Seas in late medieval and early modern periods, Chinese references to camels in Africa and the Near East, Hainan and the trade in horses from the Song to early Ming dynasties, and the perception of exotic animals in Chinese Jesuit works.
