项目摘要

The study of biodiversity on islands has led to some of the most fundamental tenets of ecology and evolutionary biology. The Caribbean islands are one of the most well studied insular regions in the world and consequently are the logical starting point in the development of a global island database. The main objective of the research proposed here is to develop a web-accessible geodatabase integrating taxonomic and environmental data for the Caribbean Islands to explore factors regulating biodiversity on this important island system. The Caribbean project will serve as the first step in a larger research plan designed to integrate taxonomic and environmental data from island systems world-wide to explore the fundamental factors regulating biodiversity. The primary objective is to develop a Caribbean Island ecological database using data from Anolis lizards to facilitate the design and implementation of the database. Morphological and locality data for approximately 140 Anolis species will be linked to a GIS coverage database, which will be accessible online through a web interface. This work will advance understanding of the influence of regional environmental factors on species diversity while incorporating a strong educational component through web-based dissemination of data and an associated laboratory manual for coursework and student education.

对岛屿生物多样性的研究得出了生态学和进化生物学的一些最基本的原则。加勒比岛屿是世界上研究最深入的岛屿地区之一，因此是开发全球岛屿数据库的逻辑起点。这里提出的研究的主要目标是开发一个可通过网络访问的地理数据库，整合加勒比群岛的分类和环境数据，以探索调节这一重要岛屿系统生物多样性的因素。加勒比项目将作为更大研究计划的第一步，该计划旨在整合世界各地岛屿系统的分类学和环境数据，以探索调节生物多样性的基本因素。主要目标是利用安乐蜥蜴的数据开发加勒比岛屿生态数据库，以促进数据库的设计和实施。大约 140 个 Anolis 物种的形态和位置数据将链接到 GIS 覆盖数据库，该数据库可通过网络界面在线访问。这项工作将增进对区域环境因素对物种多样性影响的理解，同时通过基于网络的数据传播和相关的课程作业和学生教育实验室手册纳入强大的教育内容。
