Understanding tropical biology is important for solving complex problems such as climate change, biodiversity loss, and zoonotic pandemics, but biology curricula view research mostly via a temperate-zone lens. Integrating tropical research into biology education is urgently needed to tackle these issues.
了解热带生物学对于解决气候变化、生物多样性丧失和人畜共患病大流行等复杂问题非常重要，但生物学课程主要从温带地区的角度来看待研究。为了解决这些问题，迫切需要将热带研究纳入生物学教育。
