中国动物地理区划研究现状及展望

Current Situation and Prospect of the Research on Zoogeographical Divisions of China

摘要: 从研究对象和研究方法两方面,对我国动物地理区划研究的现状进行了分析,探讨了该领域今后的发展趋势.提出应以分类学为基础,系统梳理我国无脊椎动物的种类和分布信息,建立翔实的数据库.用更具科学性和客观性的多元相似性聚类分析法对数据进行分析,使研究有可重复性、结果有可比性.通过长期的数据积累,逐步完成不同动物类群的地理区划研究,为我国综合性动物地理区划分析提供可靠依据.

Abstract: The problems and trends of both the targets and methods of current study on zoogeographical divisions in China are discussed. It indicates that a database of species and distribution of invertebrate in China should be established basing upon systematically taxonomic clarification, and the data should be analyzed by multivariate similarity clustering analysis (MSCA) so that the studies will be repeatable and the results comparable. After a long-term data accumulation, zoogeographical divisions of different animal groups will be accomplished and a comprehensive research on the zoogeographical divisions of China will thus be expectable.
