摘要: 生物复杂性(biocomplexity或biological complexity)是近年来由Rita Colwell等人积极倡导的一个新的学科领域,旨在更好地了解生命系统及其环境组分间的相互作用以及系统复杂性的动态特征与演化机制。目前,生物复杂性的定义与内涵尚不明确,意见纷呈,而有关研究在美国国家科学基金会(NSF)的支持下已迅速开展起来,并即将成为国际合作研究的热点之一。本文简要介绍了有关生物复杂性的不同观点、生物复杂性与生物多样性研究之间的关系,并以若干生态系统和基因组为例,说明了现阶段生物复杂性研究的主要特点。

AbstractBiocomplexity, or biological complexity, is a new domain proposed by Rita Colwell and her colleagues for better understanding of the interactions among components of complex life systems and dynamic characteristics and evolutionary mechanism of the systems' complexity. Although the concept and definition of biocomplexity remain controversial, various research projects relevant to this field have been undertaken with funding from US National Science Foundation (NSF), and a new trend in international collaborative efforts to study life on Earth has been formed. In this paper, different opinions on the concept of biocomplexity and the relati   
onship between biodiversity and biocomplexity studies are introduced briefly. Several projects regarding ecosystems and genomes are also presented to illustrate the main characteristics of biocomplexity studies.
