摘要:

物种多样性的地理分布格局及其机制是宏生态学和生物地理学的核心问题之一。区域尺度与局域尺度的影响因素, 如温度、降水、海拔变化、生境过滤、捕食、竞争与互惠等, 共同影响昆虫物种多样性的分布格局。然而, 迄今为止少有研究同时讨论不同尺度驱动因子对昆虫多样性地理分布格局的影响。本文基于内蒙古自治区86个旗县的昆虫多样性数据, 结合各地年平均气温、年降水量、古气候变化、海拔变化及植物多样性, 探讨昆虫物种多样性分布格局及其主要驱动因子。结果发现内蒙古昆虫多样性主要受到植物多样性与海拔变化的影响, 而气候因子对昆虫物种多样性的影响并不大。这一结果表明种间关系(食物多样性)与生境异质性可能对内蒙古昆虫多样性的分布格局起着主导作用。

Abstract

How species are distributed geographically and what drives these distributions remain core issues in macroecology and biogeography. Both regional and local scale factors such as temperature, precipitation, altitudinal range, habitat filtering, predation, competition and reciprocity affect the large-scale distribution pattern of insect species diversity. However, few studies have simultaneously discussed the effects of these multi-scale drivers on the geographical distribution of insect diversity. Using insect diversity data from 86 counties in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, we assessed the distribution patterns and main drivers of insect species diversity. We included mean annual temperature, mean annual precipitation, paleoclimate change, altitudinal range and plant diversity as predictors. Plant diversity and altitudinal range influenced insect diversity in Inner Mongolia while climatic factors had less influence. Our results show that interspecific relationships (food diversity) and habitat heterogeneity may play a crucial role in shaping distribution patterns of insect diversity in Inner Mongolia.
