Abstract
Combining sensors, wireless communication, information software, outdoor hardware technique, this project aims to build a new methodology, to integrate sensor network, information management system, semantic web system, for ecological research. Field data will be collected automatically and stored, searched, used, shared, analyzed and integrated through information management system and scientific workflow to understand the habitat requirement of overwintering Euploea butterflies. In order to establish this long-term, cross-scale, cross-field, source and data sharing model ecological research, we will setup wireless network and sensor network, observe behavior of overwintering Euploea butterfly, build an information system with EML (Ecological Metadata Language) standard and a scientific workflow system. In addition to being an innovative ecological research, this study will help us better understand the habitat selection of overwintering Euploea butterfly and consequently help us identify and conserve these habitats.
