我国翼手类分子系统地理学研究进展

Molecular phylogeography of bats in China

近25年,分子系统地理学研究发展迅速,成为进化及生态学领域一研究热点。翼手目动物具有独特的表型特征和生态属性。对其开展分子系统地理学研究有助于揭示该类群种群遗传现状、地理分布格局及其形成过程。本文从研究种类、方法、内容及成果方面总结了我国翼手类分子系统地理学研究进展,并分析了今后应完善的方面。

Molecular phylogeography has grown explosively during the last twenty-five years and has been a pioneering field in evolution and ecology. The Chiroptera are characterized by special phenotypic traits and ecological attributes. Phylogeographical studies can shed light on the population genetic status,patterns of geographical distribution and corresponding causes in bats. This study summarizes molecular phylogeographical research on Chinese bats,especially focusing on the species studied,the methods used,the focal topics and the results achieved. We also address future directions for the field.
