台湾、海南与大陆鸟类的亲缘关系

本研究利用过去的文献,整理台湾、海南和大陆鸟类的亲缘关系。结果发现,海南有78%的鸟类与大陆相同,有40%的鸟类与台湾相同。依此数据,显示海南成为岛屿的时间比台湾晚,与大陆鸟类的亲缘关系也比台湾较为密切。然当孤立成为岛屿之后,栖于岛上的鸟类,乃各自发展为地方特色。台湾仍保有一些古北界的寒带鸟类,不见于海南。海南则有一些东洋界的热带鸟类,也没有分布到台湾。

The Kinship of Birds among Taiwan, Hainan and Mainland of China

According to the published research literatures, Hainan has 78% species of birds which same as to Mainland and has 40% species of birds which same as to Taiwan. It shows that Hainan became an island later than Taiwan and its kinship of birds to Mainland being more closer compared to Taiwan. Since Taiwan and Hainan becoming islands, the bird compositions there have developed their own local characteristic. Taiwan has some Palearctic region's birds which cannot be found in Hainan, while Hainan has some oriental region's birds which are not distributed in Taiwan.
