A PLANNING VISIT TO TAIWAN, JAPAN AND KOREA TO ESTABLISH COORDINATED INTERNATIONAL LONG-TERM OBSERVATION STATIONS FOR BIODIVERSITY OF LEPIDOPTERA

米勒，杰弗里（俄勒冈州大学），计划访问台湾，日本和韩国，建立协调的国际长期观测站，为生物多样性的鳞翅目摘要该项目支持杰弗里米勒博士的俄勒冈州大学植物系和美国的合作者博士Hang-Kwang Luh和博士Andrew Moldenke，都是俄勒冈州州立大学植物系，沿着将在全国范围内确定的两三名学生，对台湾、日本和韩国进行了一次分三部分的规划访问，以发展一项关于生物多样性评估的四国研究合作，重点是温带和亚热带/热带森林中的鳞翅目。该小组将于2005年夏季前往台湾，2005年秋季前往韩国和日本，2006年秋季前往台湾会见合作者并考察实地考察。美国研究小组将在俄勒冈州的安德鲁斯长期生态研究（LTER）基地进行研究，他们将会见国立台湾大学的徐玉峰博士和福山台湾生态研究网络（TERN）的其他研究人员;日本北海道的友小研究森林的村上正志博士和北海道研究中心的阿部信博士;在韩国的一个地点将与首尔女子大学的Hoonbok Yi和Chang-Seok Lee博士协商确定。该小组将计划进行长期生态研究，比较和扩展现有的昆虫生物多样性和群落组成数据库。该研究项目将促进将分类学、生态学和信息学等学科纳入一个系统，鼓励在阐明群落动态模式和评估环境影响的同时记录生物多样性。在前两次访问中，PI和他的美国合作者将与海外合作者会面，并在考虑到长期项目的情况下检查每个网站。在台湾举行的最后一次会议上，来自日本和韩国的研究人员也将参加，重点是敲定每个国家的研究人员团队，协调所有研究中心要解决的研究目标，并敲定向每个国家的资助者提交赠款提案的计划。

OISE-0534409 Miller, Jeffrey (Oregon State University), A Planning Visit to Taiwan, Japan and Korea to Establish Coordinated International Long-Term Observation Stations for Biodiversity of LepidoteraABSTRACTThis project supports Dr. Jeffrey Miller of Oregon State University Department of Botany and U.S. collaborators Dr. Hang-Kwang Luh and Dr. Andrew Moldenke, both of the Oregon State University Department of Botany, along with two-three students to be identified nationally, in a three-part planning visit to Taiwan, Japan and Korea to develop a four-country research collaboration on biodiversity assessment focusing on Lepidoptera in temperate and sub-tropical/tropical forests. The group will travel to Taiwan in summer 2005, to Korea and Japan in Fall 2005, and to Taiwan in Fall 2006 to meet collaborators and examine field sites. The U.S. team, which conducts research at the H.J. Andrews Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) site in Oregon, will meet with Dr. Yu-Feng Hsu of National Taiwan University and other researchers affiliated with Fushan Taiwan Ecological Research Network (TERN); Dr. Masashi Murakami of Tomokomai Research Forest and Dr. Shin Abe of Hokkaido Research Center, both in Hokkaido, Japan; and a site in Korea to be determined in consultation with Drs. Hoonbok Yi and Chang-Seok Lee of Seoul Women's University. The group will plan long-term ecological studies that will compare and extend existing databases on insect biodiversity and community composition. The research project will facilitate the integration of the disciplines of taxonomy, ecology and informatics into a system that encourages the documentation of biodiversity simultaneous with the elucidation of patterns of community dynamics and the assessment of environmental impacts. In the first two trips, the PI and his U.S. collaborators will meet with overseas collaborators and examine each site with the long-term project in mind. The final meeting in Taiwan, which researchers from Japan and Korea will also attend, will focus on finalizing the team of research personnel in each country, coordinating the research objectives to be addressed across all sites, and finalizing plans for the submission of grant proposals to funders in each country.
