Jeconet のみなさま
いつもお世話になっています。
北海道大学北方生物圏フィールド科学センターの中村誠宏と申します．
今年の 11 月に下記の通り、第 4 回目の日台間の生態学ワークショップを台湾の国立東
華大学にて開催する予定です．環境変動に対する生態系の応答について，気候・地理的多
様性を擁する日本と台湾の間で系間比較研究（特に個体群・群集・生態系生態学）を促進
させるための研究グループ形成を行い，その成果は最終的にジャーナルの特集号や特集記
事として発表することを目指しています．
比較研究のグループについてはすでに準備段階にありますが，台湾側に知り合いのいら
っしゃらない方も，オーガナイザー側で可能な限り研究グループ形成の支援を行いたいと
考えています．詳しい情報は以下の英語の案内をご覧ください．またワークショップのホ
ームページも開設いたしましたのでご覧ください．

Participants are expected to pay their own travel cost.
History:
Since 2008, Taiwan-Japan Ecology Workshop was organized every other year and has been held
alternately between Taiwan and Japan. Our objectives include: 1) Facilitating research cooperation
and comparative studies between Taiwan and Japan; and 2) Encouraging students and scientists to
participate international cooperation. Each time, a theme is decided by the organizers to build up the
oral and poster sections. However, participations of all ecological research topics are encouraged.
Theme of the 4th Taiwan-Japan Ecology Workshop
Latitudinal variation of ecosystem responses to environmental changes: ecosystem comparative
studies
Motivation of the theme:
One advantage to have Taiwan-Japan Ecology Workshop is that Taiwan and Japan locates at very
different latitudes (different climatic zones). We may anticipate that ecosystems at different
latitudes likely respond to environmental changes in very different ways. We wish to take this
advantage to facilitate cross-system comparative studies. We like to seek participants working on
similar issues but from different latitudes (e.g. Taiwan VS Japan). The systems can range from
terrestrial, to freshwater, and marine environments. Theoretical, experimental, and observational
studies are all welcome. Studies across altitudinal variation are also appreciated. “Environmental
changes” are broadly defined, including natural and anthropogenic forcings. A special issue in
journal publication is expected to come out of this workshop.
Tentative workshop topics (to be constantly updated):
Confirmed research topics for comparative studies and participants for the workshop are listed
below. Other research topics are welcome. We will try our best to help find your counter parts in
Taiwan or Japan. If you are interested in participating this workshop and seeking your counter parts,
please contact the organizers.
