摘要

A functional analysis of the collections and research of the National Museum of Natural Science (NMNS) was conducted. In total, 1,165,820 specimens have been recorded since 1983. The majority (63%) of the collections are zoological specimens, among which entomological specimens account for the greatest percentage (88.9%). Most collections were acquired during field work by staff of the NMNS. Only 2% of the specimens have been used for scientific research, whereas they have offered much work to foreign researchers from nearly 20 countries. Among the collections at the NMNS, a remarkable number of invertebrate specimens have been used in research, and entomological and mycological specimens have stably been used for research and academic publications.

本研究乃針對國立自然科學博物館(科博館)之蒐藏品在研究上進行功能分析。科博館開館至今，已經累積1,165,820件蒐藏品。其中以動物學領域之標本數量最多(63%)，而動物學領域中又以昆蟲佔最多數(88.9%)。研究人員赴野外採集所得的標本是科博館最大宗(59.7%)與最穩定的來源。儘管用於研究之蒐藏品，僅佔科博館總蒐藏的百分之二，然而卻提供了全世界近20個國家之研究學者進行相關研究，在研究發表方面，以利用無脊椎動物標本佔最多數(2,432件)，而昆蟲與真菌標本在研究上的利用，亦呈現穩定性的逐年成長。
