摘要
结合当今医学节肢动物生态研究成就，本文从方法学角度综述了群落生态学方法在医学节肢动物研究中的应用现状，涉及群落丰富度、相对优势度、优势指数、多样性、均匀度、种多度分布、生态位、种间协调关系以及群落数量分类等多方面。目前在整个医学节肢动物领域，较为深入的群落研究主要见于国内的报道。
Some achievements have been made in the ecological studies of medical arthropods and according to these achievements,some important methods in community ecology and their applications in the field of medical arthropods were reviewed in this paper.The methods involve richness,relative dominance,dominance index,diversity,evenness,species-abundance distribution,ecological niche,interspecies association and numerical classification of community,etc.Up till now,systematic studies of communities in the field of medical arthropods have been mainly reported from China and most research papers concentrated on the serial studies of gamasid mite communities.
