中国及邻近地区陆地哺乳动物动物地理区域定量分析.动物学研究 43(1)：142-160。本文的目的是通过定量分析的方式，以自然地理区域为操作地理单元（OGU），确定中国及邻近地区陆地哺乳动物的分布格局。以陆地哺乳动物11目、42科、197属、577种陆地哺乳动物作为OGU的动物地理区域的存在与否为基础，研究了东方区（OR）和古北区（PR）之间的生物边界以及次区域边界。边界，s 统计显着性通过 McCoy 等人描述的 G 检验进行测试。发现一个显着强的生物边界将 PR 与 OR 分开，并且 PR 中存在一个弱生物边界，将其分为 2 个子区域。我们得出的结论是，分隔 PR 和 OR 的生物边界是一个强边界。我们建议将青藏高原视为青藏高原的一个次区域，最能体现其海拔高、气候寒冷的特点，称为青藏高原次区域（QZSP）。
Quantitative analysis of land mammal zoogeographical regions in China and adjacent regions. Zoological Studies 43(1): 142-160. In this paper, our aim was to determine, by means of quantitative analysis, the distribution patterns of the land mammals in China and, adjacent regions using physiographical regions as operative geographical units (OGUs). Based on the pre-sence or absence of 11 orders, 42 families, 197 genera, and 577 species of land mammals in their zoogeographical regions, which were used as OGUs, we studied the biotic boundary between the Oriental Region (OR) and the Palaearctic Region (PR), as well as subregion boundaries. The boundary, s statistical significance was tested by G-test as described by McCoy et al. A significantly strong biotic boundary was found to separate the PR from the OR, and there is a weak biotic boundary in the PR, which divides it into 2 subregions. We concluded that the biotic boundary which separates the PR and OR is a strong boundary. We suggest that the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau should be regarded as a subregion of the PR, which can embody its characteristics of high elevations and a frigid climatic, which is called the Qing-Zang subregion of the PR (QZSP).
