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

1)在2005-2007年期间，访问了热带亚洲对应国家的大学和研究所，以便在收集标本、监测和建立清单方面开展联合工作。在这三年中，在10个国家的25个地点进行了实地调查，包括以前的TAIIV项目。中国与海南岛、矢田、上田和广渡合作，M.华南农业大学的王先生对鳞翅目和其他昆虫进行了调查和监测。Yukawa和他的团队在西弗吉尼亚州的Gunun-Harimun国家公园进行了实地考察。与印度尼西亚科学院生物研究所的Tukirin和Roshicon合作，在爪哇进行。自2005年以来，在A.L. Monastyrskii的指导下，与当地研究人员合作，作为新项目开展了以蝴蝶为主的调查。山根、绪方和他们的格鲁集团 ...更多信息 p在泰国和越南非常活跃，在那里他们为合作工作奠定了坚实的基础。这包括组织一个亚洲蚂蚁专家网络，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）在上述亚洲热带国家的调查工作的基础上，完成了蜜蜂、蚂蚁、叶蝉等的分类数据库。4）2007年1- 2月1日至2日，在福冈九州大学举办了国际研讨会暨报告会，分享了成果和成就。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名亚洲合作者参加。包括青年研究人员在内的80多人出席了会议，并进行了非常活跃的辩论。通过所有这些活动，我相信TAIIV项目已经奠定了必要的基础，以便对热带亚洲昆虫进行大规模的清查，建立一个国际网络来维持和通报这一努力，并提高将所获得的新知识应用于热带亚洲生物多样性保护的能力。然而，人们非常希望采取后续行动，提出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
