摘　　要：本文综述了近年来分子系统学的原理和方法及其在生物多样性保护中的应用和发展。分子系统学方法可以很好地确定物种保护的基本单元———进化显著性单元，并可用于推测群体的发展状态，从而为物种的保护提供了一项新的具很强操作性的科学手段。In recent years, it has been emphasized that the principles and methods of molecular phylogenetics should have potential and practical value in biodiversity conservation, especially in species conservation. It is a critical issue and the first step as well to identify those units which have evolutionary significance from different populations of a species concerned in species conservation. Phylogenetic relationships among those populations could shed valuable light on this issue. In addition, the data from molecular phylogenetic study are also helpful for us to understand the status and process of populations.
