近年來氣候變遷的情形被指出可能加速外來種擴散、促進外來種數量增加、提高外來種對原生種的競爭能力或增強外來種對經濟作物的迫害，甚至助長病媒的繁衍。而外來種的出沒在各地幾乎都會發生，部分外來種會對當地經濟、環境或生物多樣性造成迫害而被歸列為入侵種，因而成為許多研究者欲探討研究的對象。因此許多研究為了即早做出對外來種入侵的因應對策，便使用物種分布預測模式預測外來種的分布，以了解當外來種入侵時會向那些地方擴散，便於提早做出因應對策。因此本研究欲利用最大熵演算法預測2050年及2080年暖化情境下臺灣外來種蝴蝶的分布情形，並針對這些情形進行探討。結果顯示，來自於熱帶或亞熱帶地區已定居於臺灣的外來蝶種，皆可能繼續在臺灣擴散其分布區域；而尚未進入臺灣本島的外來蝶種也可能擴散進入臺灣本島。基本上影響多數外來蝶種的最重要因子皆與雨量相關。從結果可以發現，在氣候變遷的影響下，進入臺灣的外來蝶種分布確實受到影響，因此本研究針對會成為入侵種的外來蝶種進行探討，期望結果可以提供給保育物種做參考。
