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

1)2005-2007年期间，访问了对应的热带亚洲国家的大学和研究所，开展了收集标本、监测和编制清单方面的联合工作。在这三年中，包括先前的TAIIV项目在内，在10个国家的25个地点进行了实地调查。2)在南中国和海南岛，Yata、Ueda和Hirowatari与南中国农业大学的M·王博士合作进行了鳞翅目和其他昆虫的清点工作和监测。汤川遥菜和他的团队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考察。自2005年以来，在A.L.Monastyrskii的指导下，作为新的项目，他们与当地研究人员合作，进行了以蝴蝶为主的清单调查。山根、绪方和他们的小组…更多的P在泰国和越南非常活跃，他们在那里为协作工作奠定了坚实的基础。这包括组织了一个亚洲蚂蚁专家网络--ANET，并取得了出色的成果。小岛、野村和吉泽在马来半岛的两个地点进行了实地调查。3)在亚洲热带国家上述清查工作的基础上，完成了蜜蜂、蚂蚁、叶蝉等分类数据库的建立。4)2007年12月1-2日，在福冈九州大学举行了一次国际研讨会和一次报告会议，以分享结果和成果。除了来自伦敦自然历史博物馆的Dick Vane-Wright(该项目的顾问)外，还有10名亚洲合作者参与了该项目。包括年轻研究人员在内的80多人出席并进行了非常激烈的辩论。通过所有这些活动，我认为TAIIV项目已经奠定了必要的基础，以便对热带亚洲的昆虫进行大规模的清点工作，建立一个国际网络来维持这一努力并提供信息，并增强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。然而，人们对涉及进一步倡议和发展的后续行动寄予厚望。较少

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
