Abstract
"Under the growing threat of alien invasive pest insects we select out those phytophageous insects of global significance related to the tree species planted as important production or sidewalk trees in Taiwan as analysis priority through the integration of biological and geographical distribution data. We use the ecological niche modeling to predict the distribution model in different global warming scenario thus to obtain a precautionary damage distribution of pest outbreak due to global warming.
1.Through the integration study, we build up a new research team of meteorologists, botanists and entomologists.
2.To build up a biological basic data for fast prioritization and prevention of potential invasive pest.
3.To obtain an emergency list to protect the threatened native species.
4.Through a precautionary method to lessen the impact of alien species invasion on forest ecosystem. To share the research knowledge with the public to prevent invasive species collectively."
