Abstract

Abstract. In this short paper, some consideration is given to the term biodiversity. We stress the need for a strong formal rigor in using this term in order to maintain the credibility by non-ecologists and environmental agencies over the scientific community involved in biodiversity studies. After a historical introduction to the use and concept of the term biodiversity, this paper presents some theoretical aspects, concrete methodological proposal, and discussion for the further scientific and consistent use of the term biodiversity.

对生物多样性理论的贡献:形式严谨性的重要性

摘要在这篇短文中，对生物多样性这一术语作了一些考虑。我们强调，为了维护非生态学家和环境机构对参与生物多样性研究的科学界的信誉，在使用这一术语时需要严格的正式严谨性。在对“生物多样性”一词的使用和概念进行历史介绍的基础上，提出了“生物多样性”一词进一步科学一致使用的理论问题、具体的方法建议和讨论。

期刊介绍： Web Ecology (WE) is an open-access journal issued by the European Ecological Federation (EEF) representing the ecological societies within Europe and associated members. Its special value is to serve as a publication forum for national ecological societies that do not maintain their own society journal. Web Ecology publishes papers from all fields of ecology without any geographic restriction. It is a forum to communicate results of experimental, theoretical, and descriptive studies of general interest to an international audience. Original contributions, short communications, and reviews on ecological research on all kinds of organisms and ecosystems are welcome as well as papers that express emerging ideas and concepts with a sound scientific background.
