中国鹭科鸟类研究进展

A Review on Ardeidae Birds in China

鹭科鸟类是湿地生态系统中重要的生物种类之一 ,也是环境质量评价的一类指示动物。为了保护和利用资源 ,本文对中国鹭科鸟类研究进行了简要总结。中国鹭类有 9属 2 0种 ,可分为树巢类和芦巢类 2大生态类型。树巢型鹭类群落结构多样性受栖息地结构、植物物种多样性、林木的水平和垂直层次复杂性的影响。而芦巢型则栖息地结构简单 ,类群落结构多样性也较低。中国鹭类的地理分布 ,除紫背苇为古北界种类 ,海南、黑冠 2种为东洋界种类外 ,其余种类为广布种 ,台湾有澳洲界种类斑鹭的记录 ,当属偶见鸟。

Ardeidae bird is one of important species belonging to wet land ecosystem, and regarded as indicator for environmental assessment. In order to protect and utilize the resources, Egrets are studied from China in this paper. There are 9 genus and 20 species in the family Ardeidae in China, respectively, which are divided into nesting in tree and nesting in reed beds ecology form. Egrets community structure diversity is influenced by the complexity of habitat structures, plant diversity, forest level and vertical structures and so on. Bitterns community diversity is low because of simple rest structure. %Ixobrychus eurhythnus% is palaearctic, %Gorsachius magniticus, G. m. mloanolophus% are Oriental, and others are Iosmopolitan in China.
