• 康杰锋，2022年博士毕业于京都大学

原文：

I am extremely grateful to my supervisor, Professor Shozo Shibata. I would not get a ticket to the field of urban biodiversity research without his support. His overall insight in this field gave me a big picture. When I came to the lab, I “knew nothing” just like John Snow; when I am going to leave the lab, I am proud that now I “know something” about urban biodiversity research.

My sincere appreciation is also extended to Dr. Satoshi Hirabayashi for his encouragement and efficient feedback on our joint study. It has been a pleasure working with him.

I must also thank Associate Professor Katsue Fukamachi, Assistant Professor Ryo Nukina, and Assistant Professor Wen Liu, for their valuable comments on this study. The different viewpoint also reminds me of the limitation of my research and sparked me.

I also wish to thank the lab members (including Ms. Kamaga) of the Graduate School of Global Environmental Studies, and in Faculty/Graduate School of Agriculture, Kyoto University, for their support and help, not only in academics but also in lab life. I would like to say a special thank you to the members of the “mini-seminar” in the lab of the Graduate School of Global Environmental Studies that I enjoyed the discussions on urban ecology research.

I am grateful to my family and my girlfriend for their support in my life. They are never tired of reminding me to take care of my health which is the foundation of my academic research. And thank them for putting up with me being working for my study for hours on end (with just a few outcomes though).

I would like to acknowledge the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) for providing the scholarship for my Ph.D. study; and the Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (B) from the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (18H02226, representative: Shozo Shibata) for the research funding.

Finally, I wish to say a special thank you to the great naturalist and writer, Edward O. Wilson. I have never had the honor to meet him, but I have been inspired to chase my dream by his book since I was a masters student.

中文版本：

我衷心感谢我的导师柴田昌三教授。没有他的支持，我不可能进入城市生物多样性研究的领域。他在这一领域的全局视野给了我一个宏观的图景。当我刚来到实验室时，我就像“什么都不知道”的约翰·雪诺；当我要离开实验室时，我自豪地说，现在我对城市生物多样性研究“有所了解”了。

我也要特别感谢平林聪博士，他对我们共同研究的鼓励和及时反馈使我受益匪浅。与他合作是一件非常愉快的事。

同时，我必须感谢深町加津枝副教授、贯名凉助理教授和刘文特任助理教授，他们对本研究提出了宝贵的意见。不同的视角也提醒了我研究的局限性并激发了我的思考。

我还要感谢京都大学全球环境研究学院和农学院的实验室成员（包括釜我女士），他们在学术上和实验室生活中都给了我很多支持和帮助。特别感谢全球环境研究学院实验室的“迷你研讨会”成员，我非常享受我们关于城市生态研究的讨论。

我要感谢我的家人和女朋友对我生活上的支持。他们从不厌倦地提醒我要照顾好自己的健康，这是我学术研究的基础。感谢他们忍受我长时间工作（尽管成果不多）。

我要感谢日本文部科学省（MEXT）为我的博士研究提供奖学金；以及日本学术振兴会的科学研究补助金（B类）（18H02226，代表：柴田昌三）为我的研究提供资金。

最后，我要特别感谢伟大的自然学家和作家爱德华·O·威尔逊。虽然我从未有幸见过他，但自从我读硕士以来，他的书一直激励着我追逐梦想。

我的博士论文题目是《Plant biodiversity and ecosystem services in an Asian developed city: land use and scale》。
