From Yorkshire to China via Borneo: a biological excursion through tropical moth ecology

摘要

The Presidential Address delivered following the Annual General Meeting at Malham Tarn Field Centre, 15th November 2014.In this address I hope to introduce you to some of the questions about moth species distributions and population diversities that Ihave had a minor part in helping study in Southeast Asia. Some Yorkshire-born or based researchers have played a major part in researching the associated ecology, especially Dr. Stephen Sutton, a past YNU President; more recently by the research group of Professor Roger Kitching of Brisbane, Australia. Many of the questions have not been fully answered yet.
