鸟类栖息地选择研究进展

A Review of Studies on Avian Habitat Selection

野生动物栖息地选择的研究是动物学研究的一个基本而又重要的领域 ,鸟类对栖息地的选择以植被类型为基础。在不同空间尺度上 ,影响鸟类栖息地选择的环境因素亦不相同 ;在不同的季节和生活史阶段 ,鸟类对栖息地类型的选择取决于季节性变化的植被因素和鸟类在不同生活史阶段对栖息地的不同需求 ;而鸟类的繁殖栖息地选择取决于小尺度上的植被结构。目前 ,人造巢实验被广泛运用于鸟类巢址栖息地选择分析和巢卵捕食率研究 ,但这一实验方法尚需改进。文章亦探讨了栖息地破碎化对野生动物的影响及有关领域的研究现状。

Study of wildlife habitat selection is an important and basic part in zoology. For birds, habitat selection is on the basis of vegetation type. The environmental factors that influenced the avian habitat selection are various with different spatial scales. The avian habitat selection also changed with season. Though artificial bird nests experiments have become popular as subjects for testing avian nest site selection and nest predation rate, the quality of experiments need to be improved. Consequences of wildlife habitat fragmentation were discussed in this paper.
