摘要

甲虫是地球上最多样化的生物群体,但在生物区域化研究中,很少使用甲虫的分布情况。在这里,我们将南非甲虫分布的几个小型数据集结合起来,编制了一份形态物种列表,并分析了它们在南非全国 20 个地理单元中的存在情况。我们发现东部有多种多样的细尺度集合体,但在该国西部干旱/冬季降雨和东部夏季降雨的一半地区之间也存在脱节,这与之前基于不同动物和植物群体的多项研究结果一致。我们建议利用不断增加的公民科学数据集来研究甲虫等群体的生物地理格局,这些群体迄今为止受到的关注还很有限。

A Bioregionalization of South Africa Based on Beetles (Coleoptera)
Beetles represent the most diverse group of living organisms on Earth, yet there has been very little in the way of using beetle distributions in bioregionalization exercises. Here, we combine several small data sets for beetle distributions in South Africa to produce a list of morphospecies and to analyze their presence within twenty geographic units spanning the entire country. We find a diversity of fine scale assemblages in the east, but also a disjunction between the western arid/winter-rainfall and eastern summer-rainfall half of the country, which is in line with several previous studies based on diverse groups of animals and plants. We recommend the use of the increasing citizen science data sets in studying biogeographic patterns in groups such as beetles, which have so far received limited attention.
