古、中生代之交低等辐鳍鱼类的演化
基干新鳍鱼的系统发育关系、水上滑翔起源、性双型和生殖方式
新鳍鱼类（包括全骨鱼类和真骨鱼类）的起源、生物地理和生态学研究
主要研究成果：
（1）发现并命名低等辐鳍鱼类3种（短尾柄北山鱼、尼尔森翼鳕和张氏翼鳕）、基干新鳍鱼类11种（兴义飞鱼、精美乌沙鱼、多饰维纳斯鱼、光泽肋鳞鱼、霸王肋鳞鱼、云南暴鱼、盘州暴鱼、小巧漏卧鱼、祥瑞卢加诺鱼、亚洲肋鳞裂齿鱼和优雅三叠鱼）、全骨鱼类7种（苏氏腊山鱼、格兰德拱鱼、罗平强壮鱼、奇异盘县鱼、三叠复兴鱼、王氏富源鱼和优美玉带鱼）、参与命名龙鱼类5种（大洼子龙鱼、长胸鳍中华龙鱼、长奇鳍中华龙鱼、小型中华龙鱼和宽头颅夜郎鱼），丰富了人们对该地质时期的鱼类生物多样性和性双型的认识；

（2）揭示史前飞鱼的水上滑翔起源和生殖方式。根据兴义飞鱼及精美乌沙鱼的研究，提出了一个“头部特化-尾下叶加长-胸鳍变大-鳞片退化”的史前飞鱼演化序列，而且生殖方式是卵胎生的，与现代飞鱼不同。研究支持飞鱼在水面滑翔是为了逃避海豚和其它肉食动物的捕食，而非为了迁徙的需要。研究成果2014年被写入英国《古脊椎动物学》教科书（Vertebrate Palaeontology；Michael J. Benton著，第四版，182、187、189页）
（3）解决长期以来令人困惑的基干新鳍鱼类分类学问题。在明水似凶暴鱼、精美乌沙鱼、霸王肋鳞鱼、云南暴鱼、盘州暴鱼、小巧漏卧鱼和亚洲肋鳞裂齿鱼等大量基干新鳍鱼类的研究基础上，修订了裂齿鱼目、肋鳞鱼目、卢加诺鱼目和疣齿鱼科，新建了漏卧鱼目、漏卧鱼科和肋鳞裂齿鱼科。进一步增进来人们对基干新鳍鱼类的系统发育关系和三叠纪海洋生态系统的认识。部分分支系统学和分类学研究成果2016年被写入《世界鱼类志》（Fishes of the World；Joseph S. Nelson等编著，第五版，116、125页）；

（4）详细研究了预言鱼目和拱鱼目，重建了迄今为止最完整的全骨鱼类进化树。重现修订了预言鱼目和拱鱼目、新建立了腊山鱼科，将预言鱼目的最早化石记录从欧洲的晚侏罗世延伸到我国西南的中三叠世安尼期，从而将该目的地质延限向前延伸了约九千万年。重新研究了中三叠世拉丁期的亚洲鳞齿鱼，提出它属于近鲱形类预言鱼目成员而非铰齿鱼类半椎鱼目新观点。另外，分别在罗平生物群和兴义生物群中发现了腊山鱼科优美玉带鱼和拱鱼科王氏富源鱼，弥补了我国中三叠世拉丁期铰齿鱼类化石记录的缺失，为研究早期铰齿鱼类的骨骼形态学和生态学提供了更多的信息；

（5）详细研究了斯堪尼亚鱼目。运用高分辨率计算机断层扫描技术揭示出长背鳍阜康鱼头骨内部的一些解剖学特征与多鳍鱼类似，确认阜康鱼属是多鳍鱼类干群成员。将化石鱼类的形态学数据与现生辐鳍鱼类的形态学数据及核基因的DNA序列数据一起融入分支分析之中，重新评估了早期辐鳍鱼类的系统发育关系和冠群的起源时间；

（6）首次在云南红河中三叠世关岭组二段发现完整海生爬行动物化石并命名为肿肋龙科一新属种，长尾红河龙。该发现代表了我国肿肋龙科最早的确切证据，是世界上尾巴相对最长（由69块脊椎骨组成）、脊椎骨总数最多（121块）的肿肋龙类；

（7）首次在云南楚雄晚白垩世江底河组发现反鸟类化石，参与命名为楚雄微鸟。该发现扩大了中国中生代鸟类的时代和地理分布范围，丰富了人们对晚白垩世反鸟多样性和个体发育的认识。
