摘要
背景:在英国皇家植物园(Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew)的协调下,第八版《世界维管植物名录》(World Checklist of Vascular Plants, WCVP)最近出版。它由维管植物的种、属和科的分类名称组成,代表了当今最全面和综合的列表。问题:世界野生动植物保护区包括多少种被认可的物种?所包含信息的质量是否可以接受?随着时间的推移,全球物种名称的发布是如何演变的?清单中是否包括在墨西哥记录的物种?研究种类:世界范围内维管植物的种类。研究地点:全球和墨西哥。方法:基于WCVP建立数据库,回答研究问题。利用非参数技术,对分类状态(公认和近义词)的属种数量进行了量化,并进行了信息质量检验,估计了世界上潜在的未发现物种数量。结果:WCVP共收录名称1,233,172个,其中418,737个被接受。据估计,世界上还有大约25%的未知物种有待发现。WCVP所包含的信息质量相当可靠和完整;只有3%的墨西哥物种没有被列入世界野生动植物保护计划。结论:WCVP系统综合了现有的分类学知识,可用于系统和自动化分析。在国家一级,至少对墨西哥来说,它是试图理解和评价植物区系知识的重要参考资料。
The Kew’s "World Checklist of Vascular Plants" and its relevance to the knowledge of the flora of Mexico
Background: The 8th version of the "World Checklist of Vascular Plants" (WCVP) was recently published under the coordination of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. It consists of a list of taxonomic names of species, genera, and families of vascular plants representing the most comprehensive and integrated list available today.
Questions: How many accepted species does the WCVP include? Is the quality of the included information acceptable? How has the publication of worldwide species names evolved over time? Does the checklist include the species recorded for Mexico?
Studied species: Worldwide species of vascular plants included in the WCVP.
Study site: Worldwide and Mexico.
Methods: A database was created based on the WCVP to answer the research questions. The number of genera and species by taxonomic status (accepted and synonyms) was quantified, some information quality tests were carried out, and the potential number of undiscovered species in the world was estimated using non-parametric techniques.
Results: The WCVP contains 1,233,172 names, of which 418,737 are accepted. It is estimated that around 25 % more unknown species remain to be discovered in the world. The quality of the information contained in the WCVP is quite reliable and complete; only 3 % of Mexican species are not included in the WCVP.
Conclusions: The WCVP synthesizes current taxonomic knowledge in an integrated manner and is useful for systematic and automated analyses. At the country level, at least for Mexico, it stands as an important reference source when attempting to understand and evaluate floristic knowledge.
期刊介绍:
Botanical Sciences welcomes contributions that present original, previously unpublished results in Botany, including disciplines such as ecology and evolution, structure and function, systematics and taxonomy, in addition to other areas related to the study of plants. Research reviews are also accepted if they summarize recent advances in a subject, discipline, area, or developmental trend of botany; these should include an analytical, critical, and interpretative approach to a specific topic. Acceptance for reviews will be evaluated first by the Review Editor. Opinion Notes and Book Reviews are also published as long as a relevant contribution in the study of Botany is explained and supported.
