9400829 Janzen This project is an ongoing biodiversity inventory of all species of caterpillars, their host plant relationships, and their species of parasitoids in thae tropical dry forest of the Guanacaste Conservation Area in northwestern Costa Rica. The inventory pesults are designed to make caterpillars and their trophic relationships with food plants and parasitoids available to basic studies in ecology, systematics, behavior physiology and evolution, and to applied users in biodiversity prospecting, education, ecotourism and pest management. The overall goal is to establish this biological system as an integral part of the non-destructive sustainable use of a complex tropical wildland by science and by Costa Rican society.

9400829 JANZEN该项目是一项正在进行的生物多样性清单，其中包括哥斯达黎加西北部瓜纳卡斯特保护区热带干燥森林中所有种类的毛虫、它们的寄主植物关系和它们的寄生蜂种类。清单结果旨在使毛虫及其与食用植物和寄生虫的营养关系可用于生态学、分类学、行为生理学和进化的基础研究，并可供生物多样性勘探、教育、生态旅游和害虫管理的应用用户使用。总的目标是建立这一生物系统，作为科学和哥斯达黎加社会对复杂热带荒地的非破坏性可持续利用的组成部分。
