周紅章,男,中國科學院動物研究所研究員,曾先後擔任動物研究所昆蟲分類室副主任、動物進化與系統學研究中心常務副主任、動物標本館常務副館長、青年實驗室副主任等職,兼任《中國動物志》、《Insect Science》、《生物多樣性》、《動物分類學報》等編委,是國際甲蟲學會、國際生物系統學會、中國昆蟲學會等會員。主要從事昆蟲系統學、進化生物學和甲蟲多樣性研究,率先開拓了我國法醫昆蟲學研究。主持或承擔完成科技部“973”項目課題等重大科研項目,在 Entomolgia Experimentalis et Applicata,Environmental Entomology,Invertebrate Systematics,Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution,Molecular Biology and Evolution 等國際一流雜誌上發表多篇論文,現已發表論文100餘篇,參與編寫專著10餘部,培養博士及碩士研究生14名。
生物多樣性研究越來越受到全球科學家的關注。物種多樣性時空格局作為生物多樣性研究的重要內容,是針對物種的數量變化和物種的生物學多樣性程度,在不同尺度範圍內探討物種多樣性的時空格局及其變化規律。通過討論物種多樣性的空間格局,特別是不同尺度上的“物種-面積”模式,分析了緯度梯度、棲息地因素對物種多樣性格局形成的作用,對當前國際上發展進行比較詳細的總結。在時間尺度上,通過分析物種多樣性在不同時間尺度的變化格局,認為從生物長期進化的地史時間看,物種多樣性穩定增長受到周期性大絕滅事件中斷;而在較短的時間範圍內,如生態群落演替、季節周期等,注意研究物種多樣性變化一些特殊模式,特別是季節變化模式,以及寄主上寄生物種的多樣性隨時間變化的模式。提出區系分析是物種多樣性研究的核心內容之一。通過承擔國家科技部973項目《長江流域生物多樣性變化、可持續利用與區域生態安全》、國家基金委九五重大項目《中國關鍵地區生物多樣性保育的研究》等,先後在北京東靈山、內蒙鄂爾多斯高原、湖北神農架、雲南西北部和四川西部進行野外調查,針對森林砍伐、片斷化、人為干擾以及林業管理影響地表甲蟲多樣性進行了研究;對倒木昆蟲進行了開拓性研究;也初步開展了嗜蚊性甲蟲多樣性方面的工作;開展了針對高等動物物種多樣性大尺度格局的研究,完成了長江流域獸類、兩爬類以及魚類的大尺度格局研究。這方面研究結果,已經發表在國際一流期刊上,如Forest Ecology and Management,Environmental Entomology,Ecological Research,Entomologica Fennica等,發表論文30餘篇。
(3)進化理論新探索與分子系統學研究
探討生物進化規律,根據實驗結果證明進化歷程中的穩定性機制是表型可塑性:1.與地域性種群分化的適應策略相對應,物種可以通過增加性狀的表型可塑性來適應更大範圍的地域,擴展分布區;2.表型可塑性與生存潛力是正比關係,與分化潛力是反比關係;進化潛力包括生存潛力和分化潛力兩方面,所以,表型可塑性與進化潛力有密切關係。表型可塑性是生物進化中的穩定性機制。這方面的研究,直接從達爾文的學說入手,瞄準當代生物進化的最深層理論問題進行探索,從實驗結果論證進化理論的深層問題。利用分子生物學的技術與成果,研究物種起源與分化的分子機制,探索遺傳信息物質本身的演化形式與特點,結合巨觀研究成果,在更為廣闊的範圍內研究生物系統進化的機制、過程和模式,形成新的學說或理論,將成為系統分類學與進化理論研究的基本發展潮流。近幾年來,本研究組選擇大步甲屬、隱翅蟲、食蚜蠅等類群,所開展的工作可以概括為三個方面:1. 將分子系統和形態相結合,探索比較客觀的甲蟲物種形成模式;2. 通過測定DNA的進化速度,對分歧年代進行推定,描述物種形成的特點;3. 建立分子系統發育樹,以此為基礎考察形態多樣化(進化)的原理和樣式,以及生態適應的系統學模式。在這一方向,曾主持中科院重點項目、生物技術特別支持項目、國際合作等項目,在國際一流期刊(如Molecular Biology and Evolution,Moleocular Phylogenetics and Evolution,Genes Genetic Systems,Entomolgia Experimentalis et Applicata,《中國科學》等)上,發表論文10餘篇。
