织金瘰螈生物学特性及保护措施

织金瘰螈Paramesotriton zhijinensis是2008年才发现的中国特有珍稀两栖动物.发现于贵州省织金县,它是世界上最稀少的两栖动物之一,在世界其它各地至今还没有被发现,也是被关注和研究最少的濒危动物之一.由于生境的逐渐丧失、环境的恶化、人为的严重干扰等诸多因素导致其种群数量急剧减少.以现在的种群数量和消亡速度来看,如不善加保护,它很可能不久就会灭绝.本文对织金瘰螈的分布区域、栖息环境、体型特征、生活习性、食性及种群资源状况进行了简单分析,希望能为该物种的资源保护提供重要的理论依据.

The Biological Characteristics and Protection Measures of Paramesotriton zhijinensis

Paramesotriton zhijinensis is the unique Chinese rare amphibian which was found in Zhijin county,Guizhou province in 2008.It is one of the world’s rarest amphibians which have not yet discovered in one of other parts of the world and it is one of the endangered animals which has the least concern and research.Because of many factors such as the gradually losing of the habitat,the deterioration of the environment as well as human severe interference,population of Paramesotriton zhijinensis sharply reduced.According to its present population and dying speed,it may soon become extinct.In this article,the author briefly analyzes Paramesotriton zhijinensis’s distribution area,habitats,bodily form feature,living habit,feeding habits and population resources status in hope of providing important theory basis for its resources protection of this species.
