甲殼十足類的海產爬行蝦類即一般所謂的龍蝦和螯蝦，不少種類是高經濟價值水產品，在生態或經濟上都是十分重要的海洋生物。唯很多證據顯示全球仍有不少海產爬行蝦類未被發現，且爬行蝦類從下目至屬的各分類階層間之親緣關係亦有很多爭議，故海產爬行蝦的分類及演化親緣關係具有很大的研究潛力。申請人長年從事甲殼十足類的分類及親緣關係研究，並對海產爬行蝦類尤為專精且受國際認同，本計劃擬在未來三年繼續積極進行臺灣淺海至深海的採集調查，並再接再厲參與由法國巴黎國立自然歷史博物館和新加坡大學Raffles Museum of Biodiversity Research籌辦的印度西太平洋國際大型marine biodiversity expeditions，進而取得大量的海產爬行蝦類和其他甲殼十足類標本材料，以深入進行世界性的海產爬行蝦類之分類及演化親緣關係研究。本計劃之執行亦可使申請人的甲殼十足類研究及蒐藏範圍從臺灣擴展至西太平洋及甚至印度洋地區，從而主導全球海洋生物多樣性最高地區的甲殼十足類之分類演化及多樣性研究。 Marine lobsters (Macrura Reptantia) are decapod crustaceans with high commercial and ecological importance. However, many evidence suggests that biodiscovery of marine lobsters is still far from complete. Moreover, there are hot debates on the phylogeny and systematic of marine lobsters at all taxonomic levels. The applicants has long been working on the taxonomy and phylogeny of decapod crustaceans and particularly renown on marine lobsters. The present project intends to continue the extensive sampling of decapod crustacean fauna in Taiwan from intertidal to the deep sea, and actively participating international marine biodiversity expeditions organized by the Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle, Paris and the Raffles Museum of Biodiveristy Research, Singapore in the Indo-West Pacific. The abundant marine lobster material obtained will enable detailed taxonomic and phylogeny studies on this group of animals. Moreover, the specimens and results obtained will able to lead the taxonomic and biodiversity researches of decapod crustaceans in the Indo-West Pacific, the highest marine biodiversity area in the world.
