高阶互作对物种共存的影响研究进展

Investigating Higher-Order Interactions in Species Coexistence:A Review

生物之间的相互作用是物种共存和生物多样性维持的重要驱动因子,确定生物相互作用下的物种共存机制一直是群落生态学的研究目标。在研究方法和科学技术飞速发展的背景下,预测更复杂的相互作用对物种共存和生物多样性维持的影响逐渐成为群落生态学研究的新趋势。长期以来,相关的理论研究与实证探讨大多建立在成对物种间直接相互作用的基础上,理论预测和现实观测的差异使得生态学家开始更加关注生物之间的间接相互作用,尤其是高阶互作。本文从高阶互作的定义与发展出发,重点梳理了高阶互作研究方法,总结了高阶互作对物种共存的影响,最后基于文献计量学分析了相关领域的发展趋势,并对其发展前景提出展望,以期为相关研究提供参考。

Interactions among organisms are considered key drivers of species coexistence and biodiversity maintenance,playing crucial roles in determining the mechanisms underlying species coexistence in community ecology.With the rapid advancement of research methods and technologies,predicting the impact of more complex interactions on species coexistence and biodiversity has become a new focus in community ecology.Most studies have concentrated on direct interactions between species pairs.However,significant discrepancies between predicted trends and actual observations have highlighted the importance of indirect interactions,particularly higher-order interactions(HOIs).This paper first introduced the concept and development of HOIs,then summarized the research methods used to study HOIs and their impact on species coexistence.Additionally,we conducted a bibliometric analysis to identify development trends in HOIs and species coexistence,offering insights for future research directions.This study may provide valuable references for related research.
