2014年4月至2015年3月,采用红外触发自动相机开展太白山自然保护区野生动物监测研究,在保护区的黄柏塬(秦岭南坡)和蒿坪(秦岭北坡)安装了22台红外相机,19个位点共拍摄到有效照片2 384张,获取有效独立照片762张,其中67.3%为拍摄到兽类的照片,23.8%为鸟类,7.0%为工作人员,1.9%为其他人员。共监测到野生动物6目14科24种,其中兽类16种,鸟类8种,拍摄频次较高的动物是羚牛、野猪、小麂和血雉。各种动物四季活动规律不同,不同海拔、不同季节所拍摄动物的拍摄率也不同,同时,利用红外相机研究了大熊猫、金丝猴、野猪等野生动物的行为特征。监测中观测到大熊猫好奇玩相机、梳理毛发、倒立撒尿、采食开花的竹子和金丝猴下地活动;野猪以采食、走动和站立为主,分别占总行为次数的45.2%、37.9%和15.3%;羚牛以站立、采食和走动为主,分别占总行为次数的57.1%、31.0%和7.1%。监测结果有助于了解野生动物的行为活动和种群动态,为后期的科研工作及保护管理提供了丰富的基础资料。
Wild animals occurring in the Taibaishan Nature Reserve were monitored by infrared triggered automatic camera during 2014 April to 2015 March.Twenty-two cameras were installed in Huangbaiyuan (south slope) and Haoping (north slope).Altogether,2 384 pictures were taken at 19 locations,and 762 pictures could be identified,among them 67.3% were the pictures of mammals,23.8% were birds,7.0% were the pictures of staff members and 1.9% were the pictures of other persons.Altogether 24 species of wildlife were identified,belonging to 6 families and 14 orders,among them 16 species were mammals and 8 were birds.The capture frequency of Budorcas taxicolor,Sus scrofa,Muntiacus reevesi and Ithaginis cruentus were high.Behavioral characteristics of Ailuropoda melanoleuca,Rhinopithecus roxellanae,S.scrofa and B.taxicolor were studied through infrared camera.It was observed that Ailuropoda melanoleuca was playing with cameras,combing their hair,taking a leak upside down,feeding on bamboos in bloom and off-tree activities of Rhinopithecus roxellanae.Behaviors with the great majority of S.scrofa were feeding,walking and standing (45.2%,37.9%,and 15.3%,respectively).Standing,feeding and walking were the most common behaviors of B.taxicolor (57.1%,31.0%,and 7.1%,respectively).The results could help us to know the activity patterns and population dynamics of wildlife,which were important for the future research and protection management within the reserve.
