本文通过文献计量法,统计了Web of Science、中国知网、维普等数据库中所有关于中国新发现物种的文章。整理文章发表时间信息,以及文章中新发现物种的分类信息和发现地点信息,试图简要阐明这些新物种在中国地区的时空分布现状。结果表明:1958—2014年,共计整理得到新发现物种3707种,隶属于细菌界、蓝藻界、真菌界、植物界和动物界;其中动物界节肢动物门昆虫纲物种数量最多,占总数量的48%;时间分布上呈现整体增加趋势,同时伴随6个不同的高峰,尤其是2012年,新发现物种数量达到了369种的最高值;空间分布上,除细菌界和蓝藻界外,真菌界、植物界、动物界新发现物种数量最多的地区均是西南地区;植物界与动物界新发现物种的空间分布格局极为相似。
This research collected the scientific papers concerning on novel species in China from the Web of Science Database, the China Knowledge Resource Integrated Database and the VIP Journal Integration Platform using the bibliometric method. The publication date, classification and location data of novel species were extracted to explain the spatial and temporal distribution pattern in China. The results showed that from 1958 to 2014, a total of 3707 novel species were reported, belonging to Kingdoms of Bacteria, Cyanobacteria, Fungi, Plantae and Animalia. Among the five kingdoms, the number of novel species in Class Insecta, Phylum Arthropoda, Animalia was the largest and occupied 48% of the total novel species. The temporal distribution pattern displayed an increasing trend over the research period and 6 peaks were observed, especially in 2012, the number of novel species reached 369. The spatial distribution pattern analysis suggested that except the Bacteria and Cyanobacteria, the other three kingdoms in Southwest China had the greatest number of novel species. In addition, the spatial distribution patterns of novel species in Plantae and Animalia were closely related.
