摘要
【Objective】 This study aimed to determine the status of wildlife in Jianfengling district of Hainan Province, and provide substantial data for biodiversity conservation. 【Method】 From March 2014 to March 2015 and May to November 2015, the diversity of mammals and birds in Jianfengling Nature Reserve and the surrounding forest areas in Hainan was investigated with infrared cameras. 【Result】 In this study, with an intensive survey effort of 14 715 camera days, a total of 5 383 effective and independent photos of animals were taken. Based on the collected data, 15 wild mammals species belonging to 6 orders and 10 families, and 33 wild birds species belonging to 8 orders and17 families, and 2 domestic animal species were identified. Among the detected wildlife species, 2 are listed as Class I state key protected wild animals and 8 as class II, in China. There are 1, 3, 3, and 8 species evaluated as Critically Endangered (CR), Endangered (EN), Vulnerable (VU) and Near Threatened (TN) respectively by Red List of China's Vertebrates. The top five detected wildlife species with the highest shooting rate were Atherurus macrourus, Leopoldamys edwardsi, Melogale moschata, Lophura nycthemera, and Sus scrofa. Total of 11 species were new records in Jianfengling Nature Reserve (e.g. Petaurista philippensis, Tamiops maritimus and Monticola gularis, etc). A large number of photos of human activities were recorded by infrared cameras in the reserve, which showed that human inference was serious in this area, thus management should be strengthened. 【Conclusion】 This survey provides valuable wildlife information on the resources of mammals and birds in Jianfengling district, and preliminarily grasps the community structure, spatial distribution and relative abundance of wild animals in the area. There are still many endangered wildlife and endemic species in Jianfengling district. Human activities have potential impacts on wildlife. Infrared-triggered camera trapping techniques make up for the shortcomings and limitations of traditional survey methods. © 2019, Editorial Department of Scientia Silvae Sinicae. All right reserved.
