On land, research into invertebrates receives little interest, and because the attention of ecological researchers has long been focused on the ecological cycle on land, a huge question mark still hangs over how the ecosystems of the oceans, where life began, operate. Thus for anyone entering the fields of marine zoology or invertebrate zoology today, it's not difficult to discover one or two new species.
在陸地上，無脊椎動物的研究不受重視，由於長期來生態學觀測的是地面上的生態循環，對動物起源地的海洋生態系如何運作，也是個大問號，因此今天只要進入海洋動物、無脊椎動物領域，發現一、二個新物種並不困難。
