热带森林主要分布在第三世界发展中国家,就目前总的来看,有关热带森林昆虫领域的研究工作,尚处于分类学、害虫分布范围和为害等一股性的描述和观察;防治方法也不外使用杀虫剂和结合某些营林措施进行,一般来说,水平还是比较低的。至于有关昆虫区系、害虫生物学、生态学及其经济意义等诸方面的研究工作则进行得很少,资料也比较缺乏。我国属于热带地区的面积不大,具有热带气候条件和热带动植物区系的地区,主要有海南岛和南海诸岛、云南南部、西藏东南部的伯舒拉岭至仲巴一带的峡谷和台湾南部等地。解放后,我国热带地区的建设和资源开发工作得到了党的极大重视和关怀,在南方设置了专门从事热带植物、热带作物和热带林业的若干研究机构,其中有些单位已经开展了有关 Tropical forests are mainly distributed in developing countries in the Third World. For the moment, research on tropical forest insects is still in the category of taxonomy, distribution and damage of pests and other sexual descriptions and observations; prevention and control methods However, insecticides are used in combination with some silviculture measures. Generally speaking, the level is still relatively low. As for the research on insect fauna, pest biology, ecology and its economic significance, there have been very few studies and data are lacking. My country belongs to the tropical region of the area is small, with tropical climates and tropical flora and fauna in the region, mainly Hainan Island and the South China Sea islands, southern Yunnan, southeastern Tibet Beeshu La Ling to Zhongba gorge and Taiwan South and other places. After the liberation, the construction and resource development work in the tropical regions of our country received the great attention and care from the party. Several research institutes specialized in tropical plants, tropical crops and tropical forestry have been set up in the south. Some of these units have carried out relevant research
