摘要:

甲虫作为物种多样性最丰富的动物类群之一, 在农林生产、生物多样性保护中的科学价值受到长期关注, 但其作为宠物、收藏品的商业价值与贸易情况却鲜有研究。我国的相关工作也非常缺乏, 对当前通过电商平台进行的甲虫贸易尤其缺少了解。本文首次对国内主要电商平台两年内(2018年10月至2020年10月)的甲虫贸易进行了调查。结果发现: 贸易名单涉及的甲虫有486种, 隶属于24科234属, 总交易额达到189,407,277元。贸易形式主要为标本和活体两类。标本贸易涉及到13科175属355种。活体贸易涉及到21科98属157种, 含入侵物种4科6属6种, 农林害虫11科15属15种。两类贸易均涉及到受保护物种, 其中, 有4科5属5种入列《国家重点保护野生动物名录》, 1科1属1种入列CITES附录II, 5科10属11种入列《国家保护的有益的或者有重要经济、科学研究价值的陆生野生动物名录》。电商平台为甲虫贸易提供丰富、及时、准确的信息, 常使卖方为获得最大利润而对受保护物种过度采集, 令其面临致危或灭绝风险。电商平台开放性和全球性的特点, 使得非本土物种的活体贸易更加高效、经济、可行, 导致了生物入侵、农林虫害、病原生物传播和本土物种遗传特征丧失的风险显著提高。本文也对我国电商平台甲虫贸易的监管提出了相关建议。

Abstract

Aims: Beetles are one of the most diverse and species-rich groups of animals. Many of them have commercial values as collections or pets except for their important roles in scientific research. There is, however, little knowledge about the beetles’ trade in popular Chinese via the popular e-commerce platforms.

Methods: We investigated the trade form and quantity of beetle deals through the platforms in two years (October 2018-October 2020) in this study.

Results: The results showed that the dominant forms for beetle trades were specimens and living bodies dealing. There were 486 species belonging to 234 genera in 24 families on the online categories, with a total transaction amount of about 189,407,277 RMB. Among of them, 13 families and 175 genera, including 355 species were involved in the specimen deal. Living beetle transactions covered 157 species belonging to 98 genera within 21 families, in which included 6 invasive species in 6 genera of 4 families and 15 agricultural and forestry pests in 15 genera of 11 families. Besides, 7 species belonging to 5 genera, 4 families were on the “The list of National Key Protected Wild Animals in China”; one species was on the “List of CITES Appendix II”; 15 species within 10 genera, 5 families were included in the “The List of National Protected Terrestrial Wild Animals with Benefits or Important Economic and Scientific Values in China”.

Conclusion: The trade of living beetles, especially from overseas, could bring out the biological invasion, pest damage and pathogen transmission, or highly increase the risk of losing genetic diversity for endemic species, even cause the local species extinction. As a summary, our suggestions are presented on supervising the beetle trade through the e-commerce platforms.
