摘要
生物多样性泛指地球上物种、基因、生态系统和景观的多样性。生物多样性在许多方面与人类的生存和发展,有极其密切的关系。昆虫是世界上物种最多的生物,在生态系统中扮演着分解者、植食者、捕食或寄生者的角色,而其本身又是其它动植物的猎物。新疆阜康博格达生物圈保护区已被批准纳入国际生物圈保护网,对为何保护和利用其昆虫多样性,提出了建议。
Biodiversity is the variety of life—from microbes to whales on Earth. It encomposscs the variety of the world's genes, species, ecosystems and landscapes——from the tops of mountains to the deep oceans. Biodiversity is of vital importance to humankind from many points of view. Insects are one of the most prevalent features of our environment. Along with humans insects live in almost every habitable place on the earth. They play a major role in decay of organic matter; they are the chief consumers of plants; they are the major predators and parasitoids of the plant eaters; and finally they serve as food for other kinds of animals and plants.
