Study on Soil Fauna of Tropical Forests in China

本项目是中日合作项目“中国亚热带森林土壤动物研究（1989-1991）”（文部省国际研究计划No.01041032）的后续。通过我们富有成效的合作，这两个中日项目在这六年里都得到了成功的推进，这是根据1989年4月日本和中国参与者之间达成的以下协议：1）中国成员负责与当地政府、办公室和其他人就我们的实地研究做出的所有正式安排，日本成员负责财务困难。2)如果通过我们的计划发现新物种，那么全模标本应该保存在中国，而残模标本应该保存在日本。中国新记录种的情况将遵循相同的程序。3)所有结果将由中日合作作者发表。高级作者必须对合作社的材料直接负责。 ...更多信息 1992年4月，我们的五位中国成员在西双版纳、昆明、大理、景东、丽江及其附近地区进行了初步调查，并在当地建立了研究点。1992年9月，殷教授和今馆教授访问了昆明和西双版纳，为我们1992年和1993年的实地考察安排日程。1992年10月至11月，我们的主要成员在昆明、西双版纳及其邻近地区的10个热带（雨）林和万年青阔叶林样地进行了野外调查。为了促进分类学研究，肖教授于1993年1月访问了东京农业大学渡边教授的实验室，1993年在云南省宾川县老台山、大理县点苍山、云南省大理市1993年11月和12月，两名上海成员访问日本，深化无翼动物分类学研究。1994年10月，尹教授和两位中方成员与日方成员一起出席了在东京昭和大学举行的合作交流项目总结会议。1992-1993年野外采集的标本中，发现了许多新种，并有不少中国新记录，特别是甲螨、原尾虫等土壤动物群成员明显增加，并发现了一种新的盾甲虫Junnanotrechus等。1994年12月，记录和参考文献整理妥当，安全地存放在中国科学院上海昆虫研究所馆藏。这表明，进一步的合作将为我们的知识带来辉煌和令人兴奋的成果。少

This Sino-Japanese Cooperative project is the successor to our former project, "Study on soil fauna of subtropical forests in China, 1989-1991 (Monbusho International Research Program No.01041032)". Through our fruitful cooperation both the two Sino-Japanese projects have been successfully promoted for these six years under the following agreement between the Japanese and Chinese participants in April, 1989.1) The Chinese members are to be responsible to all the official arrangements with local government, offices and the others for our field researches, and the Japaneses are to be for the financial difficulties. 2) If the new species are found through our program, holotypes should be deposited in China and deplicate are to be retained in Japan. Case of the species to be recorded newly from China will follow the same procedure. 3) All the results are to be published by the Sino-Japanese collaborated authors. Senior authors must be directly responsible for the material of the cooperativ … More e work.In April of 1992, our preliminary survey was made by the five Chinese members to settle research sites in the area such as Xishuangbanna, Kunming, Dali, Jingdong, Lijiang and their vicinities. In September, 1992, Prof.Yin and Imadate visited Kunming and Xishuangbanna to arrange schedule for our field research in 1992 and 1993. Through October and November, 1992, our field researches were made at the ten sites of tropical (rain) forests and evergreen broad leaved forests in Kunming, Xishuangbanna and their vicinities by the major members of our program.To promote taxonomic study, Prof.Xiao visited Prof.Watanabe's laboratory, Tokyo University of Agriculture in January, 1993, and Prof.Zhang to Tokyo Medical and Dental University in July of 1993.Field researches in 1993 were made at the sixteen sites of evergreen broadleaved forests in Mt.Laotai, Binchuan ; Diancang Shan, Dali ; Xishuangbanna, and so on, through August and September.Two Shanghai members visited Japan to deepen their study of apterygotan taxonomy in November and December, 1993.In October of 1994, Prof.Yin and two Chinese members attended at the summary conference on our cooperatibe program at Showa University, Tokyo, together with all the Japanese members. Our laboratory works proved that collection from our field works for 1992-1993 contain a lot of new species and not a few forms newly recorded from China, especially remarkable increase of the members of such soil fauna as oribatid mites, proturans, the discovery of a noticeable new trechid beetle, Junnanotrechus, etc.By the best efforts of the Chinese members and two Japanese members, the important specimens, records and references were well arranged and safely deposited in the collection of the Shanghai Institute of Entomology, Academia Sinica, in December of 1994. It revealed that further cooperation bring the brilliant and exciting results into our konwledge. Less
