	Geography of Taiwan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Taiwan is a medium-sized archipelago in East Asia, located at 23°30N, 121°00E and running through the middle of the Tropic of Cancer (23°5N).
		Taiwan island is separated from the mainland China by the Taiwan Strait and borders the South China Sea and Philippine Sea to the south, the East China Sea in the north, and the Pacific Ocean in the west.
		Taiwan's area is 35,980 km² of which 32,260 km² is land and 3,720 km² is territorial water claims, making it slightly smaller than the combined area of Maryland and Delaware.

	Comparisons of allozyme variation of narrow endemic and widespread species of Far East Euphorbia (Euphorbiaceae)
		High genetic diversity in rare species is usually associated with the unique history of the species such as its recent origin from a widespread ancestor, multiple origin, hybridization, refugia origin, and ecological traits such as the ability to survive in diverse habitats (Smith and Pham, 1996; Godt and Hamrick, 1998; Gitzendanner and Soltis, 2000).
		Species that resided in refugia tended to maintain high levels of genetic diversity due to population stability during the glacial cycles (Qiu and Parks, 1994; Lewis and Crawford, 1995).

		This suggests that the SARS virus crossed the species barrier from civet cats; this conclusion is, however, by no means certain as it is certainly possible that the civet cats got the virus from humans and not the other way around or even that the civet cats are a sort of intermediary host.
		Since both mainland China and Taiwan were epidemic of SARS at the same time, the politics across the strait inevitably complicated the way the disease was handled.
		This was evidenced by one famous video clip aired widely in Taiwan about the PRC Vice Premier Wu Yi and her official company rebuffing on the question of Taiwan's representaion raised by Taiwanese reporter.

		In addition, the island of Lanyu (or Orchid Island), c.75km off the south-east coast of Taiwan has been designated as a secondary area, as two restricted-range species (Whistling Green-pigeon and Elegant Scops-owl) occur there.
		Also, Whistling Green Pigeon, although not endemic to Taiwan is a restricted-range species.

		Taiwan is a destination for the connoisseur — you won’t rack up a huge list here, but it has a relatively large number of endemic species, most of which are easy to see, and this combined with some stunning scenery has put it on my “want list” for several years...
		Taiwan is 160 km across the Taiwan Straits from Mainland China and in the North-South migration path between Japan and the Philippines. Though the island is relatively small, its mountains are extremely high reaching 3952m at Yushan (Jade Mountain).
		The species accounts stress the key points for field recognition and give a full description of the plumage, voice, range, distribution, status, and behavioural characteristics for every bird, with additional descriptions provided for hundreds of subspecies.

		Lastly, deep oceanic influences-such as high humidity and plentiful amounts of rain-give Taiwan an abundance of flourishing, diverse vegetation, which consequently contributes to the island's bountiful and complex biological species.
		Approximately 500 bird species have been recorded in Taiwan, of which about 150 species are resident.
		Furthermore, excessive development of our environment is changing or destroying bird species' habitats, and local people's habit of indiscriminately capturing or releasing wild birds, or keeping them as pets, are accelerating the threat to wild species' survival.

		Early Portuguese sailors dubbed Taiwan ‘Isla Formosa’ – the beautiful island and although the title was abandoned some time ago in favour of the Chinese name, Taiwan is still a strikingly attractive island with some spectacular mountain scenery.
		All three of Taiwan’s endemic game birds occur near Chingjing and we’ll spend much of our time quietly walking various trails through the bird-rich temperate forests in our quest to see them all.
		The bulk of the tiny world population of this endangered species winter in Taiwan and there should be a few lingering birds still present.

		In Taiwan, plant tissue culture is being used for the mass production of medical plants that in the wild are fairly rare, and which are becoming scarcer as time goes by.
		Many medicinal plant species are disappearing at an alarming rate, as a result of rapid agricultural and urban development, deforestation and indiscriminate collection.

	Studies of Eurya (Ternstroemiaceae) in Taiwan (1), a new endemic species, Eurya septata
		Twelve species of Eurya are known in Taiwan (Hsieh et al., 1996) and constitute an important element in forests from low to mid elevations.
		This unknown species exhibits clear delimitations from all the existing species (Merrill, 1926; Kobuski, 1938; Walker, 1976; Hsieh et al., 1996; Lin, 1998; Yang et al., 1997), and, therefore, we are describing it as new to science.
		These two species can be separated from the remaining species of Eurya in Taiwan by the combination of: terminal buds densely covered with appressed, hairs 400-600 µm long; branchlets slightly ridged and covered with dark, 400-600 µm long hairs; leaves elliptic or elliptic-obovate, mostly 4-7 cm long, with short petiole; ovary and fruits glabrous.

		The active faults near Taiwan are responsible for its diverse geography of tall mountains, rolling hills, flat plains, large basins, surrounding islands, and steep valleys that all add to the beauty of the island.
