生物多样性研究的几个国际热点

ＤＩＶＥＲＳＩＴＡＳ是国际上生物多样性研究的主要项目，到１９９５年时，这项目发展到一个新的阶段．研究内容由过去４个方面发展到目前代表ＤＩＶＥＲＳＹＦＡＳ核心的５个主要项目组成部分及４个交叉项目组成部分。系统学作为生物学的一门分支学科，它的重要任务之一就是要研究生命的多样性．为了世界性地提高对系统学研究重要性的认识，加强系统学基础设施和人才资源，国际上制定了２０００年系统学议程项目。此外，本文还介绍了ＩＵＢＳ组织的物种２０００项目。

HOT SPOTS IN BIODIVERSITY STUDIES

DIVERSITAS, an international programme of biodiversity science, was developed to the next phase in 1995. It consists of five major programme elements, which represent the core of the DIVERSITAS research effort, and other four cross-cutting elements. The science of systematics is the branch of biology that seeks an understanding of life's diversity. The international community of systematic biologists proposes Systematics Agenda 2000 to enhance the understanding of the importance of the systematics and to strengthen the infrastructure and human resources. The programme, Species 2000 organized by IUBS is also introduced.
