高山雪鸡的生物学研究现状

The study actuality of the Himalayan Snowcock(Tetraogallus himalayensis)

高山雪鸡是生活在寒旱区的高山鸟类之一,全球80%以上的种群分布于中国.1989年被列为国家二级重点保护动物.近几十年来,因为"实际和潜在的过度利用、乱捕滥猎、天敌捕食、过度放牧造成生境质量下降",在2004年被列入中国物种红色名录,为:"近危NT,几近符合易危VUAlcd(Near Threatened NT,nearlymet VU Al-cd)"物种.为有效保护这一物种,有关学者对高山雪鸡进行了长期的观察与研究.本文从分类与分布、起源与演化、食性、生活习性、栖息地选择、繁殖、人工驯养和养殖、以及换羽、系统发生及生理生化指标测定等方面对高山雪鸡的研究现状进行了综述,并探讨了高山雪鸡的研究意义与未来的研究方向.

The Himalayan Snowcock is one of the endangered alpine partridges that inhabits in cold and arid regions. For the National protected species （ category 11 , 1989）, and eighty percent of the population distributed in China. In rencent several decades, because ＂the excessive use in actual and in potential, over - hunting, plenty of Predator, the decrease in the quality of habitat caused by overgrazing＂, the Snowcock was put on the list of China Species Red List as ＂Near Threatened NT, nearly met VU Alcd＂, To effectively protect the species, the scholars have been studying on the Himalayan Snowcock for a long period of observation and research. To discuss the study significance and future research direction of the Himalayan Snowcock, the article summaried on the study actuality of Himalayan Snowcock, which is based on the classification and distribution, origin and evolution, feeding habits, behavior,habitat selection, breeding, domestication and artificial breeding, moult, phylogenesis and the measurement of physicological - biochemical indexes and so on.
