雾网在森林鸟类群落研究中的应用

雾网应用于森林鸟类群落生态学研究已有20多年的历史，用雾网研究森林中行动隐蔽、少鸣唱、没有领域的鸟类，特别是森林林下鸟类十分有效．该方法不受研究者经验的影响，可以对不同地区、不同群落进行比较研究．国外学者认为雾网是研究森林鸟类群落必不可少的研究工具．文中着重介绍了雾网的优缺点及其在森林鸟类群落研究中的应用，以期推动我国相关学科的研究．

Application of mist net in studies of forest bird communities

It had been more than twenty years for using mist net to study forest avian community. Mist net was very useful for studying cryptic, less vocal or non-vocal, and non-territorial birds, particularly understory birds in forest. The accuracy of mist net was relatively independent of observer biases and skills. It allowed identical and simultaneous sampling of numerous sites and straightforward comparisons among studies done at different sites by different people. So, a lot of ornithologists considered it as a necessary way for studying forest bird communities. Few studies had been reported on bird communities by using mist nets in China. In this paper, some examples on studying forest bird community by using mist nets were introduced, and studies on forest bird community with mist net should be used widely in China in the future.
