THE DEVELOPMENT OF INSECT INVENTORY PROJECT IN TROPICAL ASIA (TAIIV)"

1) 2005-2007年访问了亚洲热带国家的大学和研究机构，开展了标本采集、监测和库存建设的联合工作。在这三年中，包括以前的TAIIV项目在内，在10个国家的25个地点进行了实地调查。2) Yata、Ueda、Hirowatari与华南农业大学的Wang M.博士合作，在华南和海南岛开展了鳞翅目等昆虫的清查和监测工作。汤川和他的研究小组与印度尼西亚科学院生物研究所的Tukirin和Roshicon合作，在西爪哇的Gunun-Harimun国家公园进行了实地调查。他们编制了瘿虫、各种膜翅目昆虫等的清单。自2005年以来，在A.L. Monastyrskii的指导下，与当地研究人员合作开展了以蝴蝶为主要对象的调查。Yamane，绪方和他们的团队……More p在泰国和越南非常活跃，他们在那里为合作工作创造了坚实的基础。这包括组织一个亚洲蚂蚁专家网络，Anet，并产生了良好的结果。小岛、野村和吉泽在马来半岛的两个地点进行了实地调查。他们继续使用雾化技术对冠层动物群进行定量研究，并取得了良好的成果。3)在上述调查工作的基础上，建立了亚洲热带国家蜜蜂、蚂蚁、叶蝉等的分类数据库。4) 2007年12月1日至2日，在福冈九州大学举行了国际研讨会和报告会，分享了研究成果和成果。除了来自伦敦自然历史博物馆的Dick Vane-Wright（项目顾问）外，还有10名亚洲合作者参与。包括年轻研究人员在内的80多人参加了会议，并进行了非常热烈的辩论。通过所有这些活动，我相信TAIIV项目已经为对热带亚洲昆虫进行大规模盘存、建立一个国际网络以维持和通报这一努力以及提高将所获得的新知识应用于保护热带亚洲生物多样性的能力奠定了必要的基础。但是，人们非常希望采取后续行动，包括进一步的倡议和发展。少

1) Universities and institutes in counterpart tropical Asian countries have been visited during 2005-2007 to undertake joint work in collecting specimens, monitoring, and the construction of inventories. During these three years, field surveys were conducted at 25 sites in 10 countries including previous TAIIV project.2) In S. China and Hainan Island, Yata, Ueda and Hirowatari in cooperation with Dr. M. Wang of South China Agricultural University have conducted inventorying works and monitoring for Lepidoptera and other insects. Yukawa and his group have conducted fieldwork in Gunun-Harimun National Park in W. Java in cooperation with Tukirin and Roshicon of the Indonesian Scientific Academy Biological Institute. They have drawn up inventories for gall insects, various Hymenoptera, etc. Inventorying surveys, mainly of butterflies, have been conducted as new projects since 2005, in collaboration with local researchers under the guidance of A.L. Monastyrskii. Yamane, Ogata and their grou … More p have been very active in Thailand and Vietnam, where they have created a strong base for collaborative work. This has included the organization of a network of Asian experts on ants, Anet, and produced excellent results. Kojima, Nomura and Yoshizawa conducted field surveys at two sites in the Malay Peninsula. They have continued quantitative research on canopy fauna using fogging techniques, and produced excellent results.3)Based on the above inventorying works in the tropical Asian countries, taxonomic databases were completed for bees, ants, leafhoppers and others.4)During 1-2 December 2007, an international symposium combined with a reporting meeting was held at Kyushu University, Fukuoka to share the results and achievements. In addition to Dick Vane-Wright (advisor to the Project) from the Natural History Museum in London, ten Asian collaborators participated. More than 80 people including young researchers attended and engaged in very lively debate. Through all these activities, I believe that the TAIIV Project has laid the foundations necessary for a major inventorying exercise on the insects of tropical Asia, the construction of an international network to sustain and inform this effort, and a growing ability to apply the new knowledge gained to the conservation of tropical Asian biodiversity. However, follow-up involving further initiatives and developments are much hoped for. Less
