浙江清凉峰国家级自然保护区黑麂和小麂潜在适宜栖息地预测及重叠性分析

对保护区内的关键种开展保护工作时,其同域分布相似种的保护研究也具有重要价值。较大地理尺度上看,黑麂的分布区被小麂完全覆盖,如能掌握二者适宜栖息地的重叠状况,揭示其共存机制,将有助于保护策略的制定和整合管理。2017—2020年在浙江清凉峰国家级自然保护区利用红外相机技术分别获得黑麂和小麂的分布位点38个和101个,结合8个环境因子,采用MaxEnt模型对研究区域内黑麂和小麂的潜在适宜栖息地进行了预测和重叠性分析。结果表明：(1)黑麂和小麂潜在适宜栖息地主要位于龙塘山区域西南部,千顷塘区域中部和顺溪坞区域西北部,以及千顷塘区域与龙塘山区域间的山脉和顺溪坞南部山区,二者的潜在适宜栖息地面积分别586.66 km²和661.93 km²,分别占研究区域的36.67%和41.37%。(2)黑麂和小麂的生态重叠指数较高,其D值和I值分别为0.82和0.97,它们的总适宜栖息地重叠面积为435.39 km²,分别占黑麂和小麂总适宜栖息地面积的72.22%、65.78%。(3)黑麂和小麂对环境因子的选择相似,黑麂主要选择海拔较高、离水...     

钱江源国家公园体制试点区功能分区对黑麂保护的有效性评估

功能分区是统一协调国家公园不同保护管理目标的主要措施, 对于国家公园的有效管理有重要意义。钱江源国家公园是我国首批国家公园体制试点区之一, 被分为核心保护区、生态保育区、游憩展示区和传统利用区4个部分, 对应不同的保护管理措施。本研究分析了钱江源国家公园体制试点区现有功能分区与其首要保护对象黑麂(Muntiacus crinifrons)的适宜栖息地之间的空间关系。在红外相机调查获取的94个黑麂分布点的基础上, 结合海拔、地形、植被特征、人为活动干扰等15个环境特征变量, 采用MaxEnt模型预测国家公园内黑麂适宜栖息地的空间分布。结果表明, 黑麂倾向于出现在森林较为原始和道路密度较低的区域, 其适宜栖息地面积42.5 km ², 占国家公园总面积的16.9%。其中, 69.3%的黑麂适宜栖息地位于核心保护区, 30.4%位于生态保育区, 表明国家公园现有功能分区能很好地满足黑麂栖息地保护的需求。此结果也证明黑麂可以作为其分布范围内保存较好的亚热带森林生态系统的指示性物种。通过生境恢复、廊道建设和跨省共建促进黑麂栖息地的完整性保护, 是加强该区域黑麂栖息地保护的关键措施。     

放牧对甘肃多儿保护区大熊猫小种群形成的驱动探讨

小种群是在自然因素或人为活动影响下,形成具有生存风险的隔离或异质种群,认识其形成原因并制定保护对策是开展救护行动的基础。野生大熊猫(Ailuropoda melanoleuca)具有许多相互隔离的小种群,各小种群的生存状况决定该物种的整体保护成效。本文以甘肃多儿保护区大熊猫种群为例,在对保护区内大熊猫进行种群分布、空间利用、干扰状况调查的基础上,开展栖息地适宜性评价,分析了保护区大熊猫有效利用空间及其时空格局与环境容纳量。结果显示：(1)保护区适宜栖息地面积5 789.2 hm²,次适宜栖息地面积18 165.6 hm²,共占保护区总面积43.9%。优质栖息地主要分布在工布龙区域,该区域森林和生态系统保持原生状态,也是保护区大熊猫的主要分布区;(2)工布龙区域总面积9 949.7 hm²,其中适宜和次适宜栖息地共5 129.4 hm²,牧场是大熊猫栖息地的主要干扰因子,放牧干扰下工布龙区域适宜和次适宜栖息地面积共减少12.9%,破碎化水平加剧;(3)牧场与大熊猫栖息地镶嵌分布,导致适宜栖息地隔离,放...     

基于最大熵模型的青海祁连山雪豹生境适宜性评价

近年来,各种人为和自然因素导致了青海祁连山山区局部出现了严重的生态破坏,加剧了祁连山雪豹生境的退化,如何有效地对雪豹生境进行适宜性评价是恢复和改善祁连山生态环境的重要途径。本研究基于3S技术,在青海祁连山雪豹分布区利用红外相机监测、日常巡护监测以及雪豹粪便、脚印等痕迹获得其分布点数据并综合考虑气候、地形、植被、人为干扰等关键环境变量,运用MAXENT模型对青海祁连山区域雪豹生境适宜性进行分析评价。研究结果表明：岩羊密度、降雨和海拔是影响雪豹生境选择的关键因子,适宜生境总面积为13935.98 km²,占研究区域的37%,而大约48%的适宜生境分布在保护区外。现有功能区下雪豹保护的关键区域为位于保护区中部及西北部区域的祁连山中段疏勒南山-托勒南山区域,另有部分最适宜区位于保护区管辖范围之外的祁连县北部的沙龙滩管护站、托勒河源管护站及瓦乎斯管护站所在区域。     

青藏高原高寒荒漠区藏羚适宜生境识别及其保护状况评估

藏羚作为青藏高原高寒荒漠区濒危有蹄类动物的典型代表,其生境保护对于维持其种群存续具有重要意义.本文考虑食物、地形、水系等藏羚关键生境因子及道路、居民点等人为干扰因子,基于生境适宜性模型,对青藏高原高寒荒漠区藏羚的潜在及有效生境适宜性进行了模拟分析.同时,基于保护比例及单位面积对适宜生境的捕获效率,评估了研究区内阿尔金山、可可西里和羌塘国家级自然保护区及其各功能分区的保护情况.结果表明： 青藏高原高寒荒漠区潜在和有效适宜生境面积分别为2.84×10⁵和2.08×10⁵ km²,人为干扰造成的生境退化达16.1%.其中,阿尔金山、可可西里和羌塘保护区所覆盖的潜在适宜生境面积分别为2.01×10⁴、3.13×10⁴和1.26×10⁵ km²;考虑道路、居民点等人为干扰因素,其有效适宜生境面积分别为1.75×10⁴、2.81×10⁴和9.95×10⁴ km²,上述干扰因素导致的生境减损率分别为12.9%、10.2%和21.1%,表明羌塘道路、居民点等人为干扰相对较严重.尽管目前该区域3大保护区保护了藏羚2/3以上的适宜生境,体现了良好的保护效率,但仍存在一定游离于保护体系之外的保护空缺.在保护区功能区划水平上,除核心区外,缓冲区和实验区的保护比例和保护效率也不容忽视.为强化对藏羚等濒危有蹄类的保护,有必要在保护区和功能分区水平上对现有保护体系进行优化调整,减少保护空缺、优化功能分区,提高保护体系对生境保护的有效性,并预先保护物种适应气候变化的潜在庇护所.     

未来气候变化对我国特有濒危动物黑麂适宜生境的潜在影响

了解气候变化情景下野生动物适宜生境的可能变化,对未来有关保护策略的制定具有重要意义。本研究利用20世纪60年代至今记录的黑麂(Muntiacus crinifrons)分布数据和9种物种分布模型,模拟了两种温室气体浓度情景(RCP2.6和RCP8.5)下未来两个时期(2050s和2080s)黑麂的适宜生境。结果表明,到2050s和2080s:(1)在RCP2.6情景下,黑麂适宜生境面积相对于基准气候条件下将分别减少11.9%和6.2%,而在RCP8.5情景下,则分别减少36.9%和52.0%;(2)在RCP2.6情景下,黑麂适宜生境中的"核心区域"景观面积相对于基准气候条件将分别减少20.5%和10.5%,而在RCP8.5情景下,则分别减少55.2%和65.2%;(3)在RCP2.6情景下,稳定不变适宜生境的面积占基准气候条件下适宜生境面积的比例分别为75.1%和84.2%,而在RCP8.5情景下,分别为48.3%和35.8%。总体而言,在RCP2.6情景下,与基准气候条件下相比气候变化对黑麂适宜生境的影响并不显著,而在RCP8.5情景下则较为显著,主要表现为适宜生境面积和适宜生境中"核心区域"景观的面积明显减少,不变适宜生境面积占基准气候条件下适宜生境面积的比例大幅度降低。建议未来加强浙江、安徽、江西三省交界地区黑麂适宜生境的保护,建立黑麂保护区之间的廊道。     

基于MaxEnt模型的兴隆山保护区野生马麝秋季生境适宜性评价

生境适宜性评价对野生动物保护及自然保护区管理均具有重要意义。甘肃兴隆山国家级自然保护区是我国野生马麝(Moschus chrysogaster)的重要分布区,为了解该保护区野生马麝的生境状况,本研究利用红外相机于2021年秋季在兴隆山保护区采集野生马麝分布数据,结合地形、归一化植被指数(NDVI)、距离河流距离和距离道路距离等环境因子变量,通过MaxEnt模型对野生马麝的秋季生境进行了适宜性评价。结果表明：NDVI、道路距离、河流距离和海拔是影响兴隆山保护区野生马麝秋季生境适宜性的主要因子,其贡献率分别为33.20%、22.70%、16.70%和14.60%;兴隆山保护区野生马麝的秋季潜在适宜区面积为75.22 km²,占保护区面积的26.13%;其中,高适宜区主要分布在保护区西北部和东南部区域,占保护区面积3.26%。本研究确定了兴隆山保护区野生马麝秋季适宜生境的分布状况及关键环境影响因子,可为优化野生马麝保护和生境管理提供重要参考。     

基于最大熵模型的野生马麝夏季生境适宜性研究

野生马麝(Moschus chrysogaster)是珍稀濒危资源动物,分布于我国青藏高原及周边地区。甘肃兴隆山国家级自然保护区是野生马麝最重要的分布区之一,深入了解保护区的生境结构、质量及分布是对区域内野生马麝进行成功保护的前提和基础,但迄今缺乏大尺度的马麝生境适宜性研究。利用实地调查得到的兴隆山保护区的野生马麝夏季分布点数据,采用最大熵(MaxEnt)模型,结合地形、归一化植被指数、距河流距离、距道路距离等环境变量数据,进行野生马麝的夏季生境适宜性分析。结果表明：影响野生马麝夏季生境适宜性的主要生态因子是海拔、坡向、植被和河流,其贡献率分别达40.3%,23.4%,18.6%和10.9%;兴隆山保护区野生马麝的夏季潜在适宜生境分布面积为123.34 km²,占整个保护区的41.11%,占保护区林地的61.92%;野生马麝夏季潜在适宜生境主要集中在保护区的中部和西部,其中高适宜性生境约为保护区的4.47%,各适宜区间及适宜区之内均存在一定程度的不连续分布。为加强对兴隆山保护区野生马麝种群及生境的就地保护,建议通过生境保育措施,提高野生马麝潜在分布区的生境适宜性,...     

基于样线法和非损伤性标志重捕法对古田山小麂种群现状评价

为分析古田山自然保护区内小麂种群资源的现状,制定合理的保护和管理措施,本研究结合传统的样带调查法和非损伤性标志重捕法进行小麂种群资源的调查与评估。2014年4月、7月、10月和2015年1月在古田山自然保护区内进行了4次调查,结果显示：样带法得到全区的种群密度为(5.8±0.4)只/km²,种群数量为(473.5±29.2)只,其中核心区种群密度最高,为(7.5±0.7)只/km²,种群数量为(160.8±14.0)只;缓冲区为(5.7±0.6)只/km2,种群数量为(98.2±10.4)只;实验区密度最低,为(3.3±0.5)只/km²,种群数量为(140.5±20.7)只。非损伤性标志重捕法得到全区种群密度为(4.9±0.3)只/km²,种群数量为(397±26)只。样带法调查显示,不同功能区之间的种群密度随季节发生变化,核心区、缓冲区和实验区均是春季种群密度最高,保护区内小麂主要栖息在海拔400-800 m之间,夏季向高海拔区域迁移,冬季则向低海拔迁移。SRY性别鉴定结果表明,古田山小麂种群季节间平均雌雄性比1.17∶1,周年雌雄性比为1.11∶1（9只雌性,84只雄性）（x=0.458,P=0.499）,雌性个体的数量优势并不是很明显,若要进一步提高种群数量,则需要加强保护。     

基于MaxEnt模型的北京周边山区野生狍(Capreolus pygargus)的生境适宜性评价

Habitat associations of wild goat in central Iran: implications for conservation

Wild goat (Capra aegagrus) is one of the highly valued but threatened ungulates of Iran. Seasonal habitat use of wild goat was studied from October 2006 to September 2008 in Haftad Gholleh Protected Area, central Iran. We developed averaged logistic regression models based on Akaike Information Criterion weights for each season. The obtained habitat suitability models showed high sensitivity (greater than 88%) for all evaluation datasets. Wild goat habitat use was positively related with steep slopes, areas near rocky substrates and water sources, west-facing slopes and areas far from roads in all seasons. Core zones of protected area covered nearly 70% of suitable habitats for wild goats, predicted by logistic regression models. Northern core zone covered more than 61% of predicted suitable habitats, which should receive more attention in management actions. The southern core zone boundaries should be considered to increase the encompassed suitable habitats. There was a substantial overlap between seasonal suitable habitats with the highest overlap observed between spring and summer and summer and fall.     

Seasonal use by birds of stream-side riparian habitat in coniferous forest of northcentral British Columbia

To determine use of riparian habitats by birds in the northern coniferous forest of British Columbia, we censused birds and vegetation along 500 m transects placed parallel and perpendicular to three second-order streams. Censuses were conducted during spring, summer, autumn, and winter to investigate how use of riparian habitat changed seasonally. Stream-side riparian zones were characterized by a dense understorey of deciduous vegetation not found in the upslope forest. Nine bird species preferred the riparian understorey for breeding, six preferred it only during migration. Neotropical migrants (16 of 46 species) were more closely associated with stream-sides than year-round residents (11 species). Some breeding birds (five species) were significantly negatively associated with riparian habitats. The density of riparian birds declined with distance upstream but did not decline up to 250 m away from the stream. The more extensive riparian areas downstream supported a greater density of birds in all seasons compared to upstream areas, but more species only in spring and autumn. Species that nested in non-riparian areas in summer used riparian habitat in autumn, making riparian corridors in the northern coniferous forest important during migration. Maintaining both riparian and upslope habitats is necessary to preserve species diversity al the landscape level.     

唐家河国家级自然保护区川金丝猴生境适宜性评价

生境适宜性评价是濒危物种保护的重要基础。川金丝猴（Rhinopithecus roxellana）是栖息于温带森林的、中国特有的珍稀灵长类动物。位于岷山山系的四川唐家河国家级自然保护区是川金丝猴的重要分布地之一,但涉及该地区川金丝猴的生境信息却较缺乏。运用最大熵（Maximum entropy,MaxEnt）模型对四川唐家河国家级自然保护区川金丝猴不同季节的生境适宜性进行了研究,发现四个季节的训练集和验证集的受试者工作特征曲线下面积（Area under the receiver operator characteristic curve,AUC）值均超过0.8,说明模型预测结果较好。结果显示：（1）影响不同季节川金丝猴分布的主要因子是海拔、河流和道路。（2）川金丝猴的适宜生境面积存在季节性变化。其中,春季的适宜生境面积最大,为233.94 km²,占全区面积的58.48%;夏季的次之,为192.75 km²,占48.19%;秋冬季的适宜生境面积相对较低,分别为145.54 km²（占36.39%）和142.63 km²（占35.66%）。（3）川金丝猴的适宜生境分布具有明显的季节性垂直变化。研究揭示保护好完整的森林植被带对川金丝猴的生存具有重要意义,尤其要重视对人为干扰较强的低海拔生境的保护。     

新疆塔什库尔干野生动物自然保护区马可波罗盘羊生境适宜性评价

马可波罗盘羊是帕米尔高原的代表性物种,开展生境适宜性评价对于该物种的保护与管理具有重要意义。综合考虑植被、地形等影响马可波罗盘羊生境选择的关键因子,以及道路和牧场等人为干扰因子,借助ArcGIS,构建生境适宜性指数模型,在不同尺度上评价分析马可波罗盘羊的生境适宜性及其季节变化特征。结果表明:15836 km~2保护区内马可波罗盘羊夏季潜在适宜生境面积为2127.19 km~2,冬季为1915.70 km~2。保护区西北部面积3767.73 km~2的马可波罗盘羊实际分布区内,夏季潜在适宜生境面积为1095.48 km~2,冬季为1072.82 km~2,马可波罗盘羊适宜生境集中分布于保护区内该物种实际分布区。受人为干扰,保护区内马可波罗盘羊夏季和冬季实际适宜生境丧失率分别为18.43%和17.78%,实际分布区内适宜生境丧失率分别为33.65%和29.73%,表明实际分布区马可波罗盘羊适宜生境受人类活动影响较大,应予以重点保护。总体而言,影响马可波罗盘羊生境适宜性的关键因素是国道314和放牧。基于上述研究结果,作者提出了4点关于马可波罗盘羊生境保护,以及保护区管理与规划的建议与思考。     

Density and habitat requirements of introduced Eastern cottontail <Emphasis Type="Italic">Sylvilagus floridanus</Emphasis> in northern Italy

Following the introductions carried out in late 1960s, Eastern cottontail Sylvilagus floridanus Allen, 1890 rapidly colonized the Po Plain (northern Italy), following the Po River and its tributaries. We monitored a cottontail population using the line-transect method from autumn 2005 to spring 2009 in a 8.2-km2 study area located along the Po River, and we investigated species habitat requirements by assessing the presence/absence of faecal pellets in 200 randomly distributed plots from September 2006 to August 2007 and by Resource Selection Probability Function through logistic regression analyses and multi-model inference. The cottontail population varied dramatically over time in size, with a great drop at the end of the breeding period. Cottontails selected foraging habitats at the macro- and micro-scales, with some differences among seasons. Two macro-habitat variables differed significantly between used and unused plots through seasons: arboriculture stands were always greater in presence plots, whereas winter cereals were always greater in absence ones. On the macro-level, woody and herbaceous habitats, such as fallow fields, characterized presence plots. At the micro-habitat level, presence plots were associated with permanent dense cover except during summer. Several logistic regression models were built through seasons and ranked using the Akaike’s Information Criterion. Arboriculture stands enhanced cottontail presence mostly during the growing season contrary to crop fields. Hedgerows were used according to availability during feeding activity. Cottontail habitat selection varied according to seasonal changes in resource availability and suitability of the different habitat types.     

Home range patterns of female red deer (Cervus elaphus L.) in the Alps

Summary From 1976 to 1978, ten female red deer in the northern parts of the Bavarian Alps (Southern West Germany) were fitted with transmitter collars. Seasonal movements, the home range patterns, and habitat utilization as a function of the habitat structure were examined. While some animals remained in the lowlands throughout the year, others move between two or even three different areas seasonally. The average size of the home range was 65 ha during winter, 167 ha in spring and autumn and 121 ha in summer. The overlap of home ranges of different individuals ranged from 18 to 100%. In habitats with a patchy vegetation structure the home ranges were used more uniformly, whereas in habitats with a distinct separation of large woods and meadows home ranges show diurnal and nocturnal activity centres respectively.     

黑麂栖息地利用的季节变化

动物对栖息地的利用和选择是研究动物生境需求的核心内容。它可以为栖息地评价、容纳量估计、能量代谢以及种间关系等研究提供有价值的基础资料,也对重建、恢复和管理野生动物尤其是濒危动物栖息地具有参考价值。以往有关黑麂生态学的研究主要集中在种群特征、食性、繁殖、人工驯养和资源状况等方面(欧善华等,1981;盛和林等,1987,1990,1992;鲍毅新,2002;吴海龙等,2003),对黑麂栖息地的利用只有简单的描述(盛和林,1987,1992),没有系统的定量化报道。故从2002年4月至2003年12月在浙江省九龙山自然保护区和古田山自然保护区开展了黑麂栖息地利…     

THE INUNDATION ZONE OF THE NIGER AS AN ENVIRONMENT FOR PALAEARCTIC MIGRANTS

Of at least 350 species so far recorded within the boundaries of the Niger Inundation Zone, no less than 108 (31%) are wholly or partially of Palaearctic origin. Five main habitats are recognized in the region: wetland, hygrophilous grassland, transition zone, non-flooded areas and aerial. The habitats, the Palaearctic migrants and their possible Ethiopian competitors are described and discussed. The annual Niger flood regime enables Palaearctic waterbirds to find suitable habitats somewhere within the region during all seasons, but most widely during the autumn and winter months of the flood recession. Non-aquatic species inhabiting flood plain grassland are scarce during the Palaearctic autumn, when the growth of vegetation reaches its maximum, becoming commoner and more diverse during the winter months. Wetland warblers of the genera Acrocephalus and Locustella have not been recorded on autumn passage. It is suggested that in some years at least, these and other trans-Saharan migrants from the West Palaearctic overfly the Sahelian latitudes of mid-West Africa. Species inhabiting the transition zone (which increases in area during years of below average rains and floods) are most in evidence at the end of the winter period and during the spring hot dry season, prior to northward trans-Saharan migration. Habitats and species encountered in the non-flooded areas are similar to those recorded in the Sahel zone elsewhere in West Africa. Aerial habitat is utilized by Common Swifts arriving en masse in early August, at the maximum development of the south-westerly monsoon airstream. Several aquatic species and the first few trans-Saharan migrants also occur during the summer rainy season. Some species (e. g. Whiskered Tern, Lesser Kestrel, Turtle Dove, Short-toed Lark and Sand Martin) are most numerous during the late winter and spring hot seasons, when conditions provided by the Inundation Zone may be more suitable for pre-migration feeding than in other parts of the Sahel zone. As yet there is virtually no information available to determine any effects that drought seasons or flood variation may have on the migrant populations.
