臺灣博碩士論文加值系統

本論文可分為三個主要已發表的研究成果，第一章針對台灣中部山區特定的樹種進行藥劑噴霧試驗，研究目的為快速增加台灣步行蟲之標本收集，所選擇三樹種有香楠、澀葉榕及變葉新木薑子，噴霧採樣時間為2013年八月至2014年七月，每季調查一次，一年度的採集共採得697件步行蟲標本，類群涵蓋12族、17亞族、35屬並計有76物種，澀葉榕樣樹具有最高的步行蟲多樣性，共計28種。調查樣品中有12-20%的步行蟲為台灣新紀錄種或是新種。第二章為台灣步行蟲Pericalina亞族之分類修訂，藉此研究使台灣對於亞族之步行蟲相有更深入的瞭解，此章節共描述或重新描述34物種(包含9新種)，涵蓋14屬(包含1新屬)及5個亞屬，包含4異名、1新組合及1狀態恢復等分類處理。第三章節則是發表台灣一新記錄屬Dromoceryx (鞘翅目：步行蟲科)及一新種，此屬所有物種之檢索表也包含其中。論文最後提出對於現行分類狀態之一些思維。

This work is split into three primary publications that were the result of our research. Chapter 1 includes the current findings from our insecticidal fogging of selected trees in central Taiwan. The goal was to rapidly incread ground-beetle (Coleoptera, Carabidae) collections in Taiwan. Three species of tree including Machilus zuihoensis Hayata, Ficus irisana Elmer and Neolitsea variabillima (Hayata) were fogged seasonally between August of 2013 and July of 2014. In total, 697 carabid beetle specimens were collected during the year-long sampling period, representating 12 tribes, 17 subtribes, 35 genera, and 76 species. Ficus irisana was found to have the highest diversity with 28 species of carabids being collected from it over the course of the study. Twelve to twenty percent of ground beetle species captured were either new to Taiwan or new to science. The second chapter is a taxonomic review of the pericaline ground-beetles of Taiwan. As a result of this work, a much better understanding of the pericalines represented in Taiwan was developed. This paper describes or re-describes 34 pericaline species (nine new), from 14 genera (one new) and five subgenera. Four new synonymies, one new combination, and one status resurrection are also recognized. Work from the third chapter resulted in the publication of a new genus record for Taiwan and a new species for the genus of Dromoceryx (Coleoptera: Carabidae). A revised key to all species of the genus is included. I conclude with some final thoughts on the state of taxonomy today.
