基于红外相机技术的海南热带雨林国家公园兽类多样性调查

Infrared camera-based investigation of mammalian diversity in Hainan Tropical Rainforest National Park, China

  • 摘要: 海南热带雨林国家公园拥有我国连片面积最大的热带雨林, 孕育着丰富的生物多样性。为掌握海南热带雨林国家公园兽类多样性和人为干扰现状, 2023年7月至2023年11月, 按照4km×4km网格系统地在国家公园7个片区范围内布设了301台红外相机。累计监测53942个相机工作日, 收集独立有效照片2729张, 记录到野生兽类19种, 隶属于5目11科。其中, 国家一级重点保护野生动物2种, 国家二级重点保护野生动物4种, 合计占调查到的野生物种总数的31.6%;被IUCN物种红色名录评估为极危(CR)的1种, 濒危(EN)的1种, 合计占物种总数的10.5%。相对多度指数(RAI)最高的5种动物分别是帚尾豪猪(Atherurus macrourus, RAI=0.13)、小泡巨鼠(Rattus exulans, RAI=0.09)、红腿长吻松鼠(Ratufa indica , RAI=0.07)、赤腹松鼠(Callosciurus erythraeus, RAI=0.07)、鼬獾(Melogale moschata, RAI=0.03)。结果显示, 7个片区均存在不同程度的人为干扰, 其中五指山人类活动较为频繁, 黎母山受到较大家畜活动干扰。黎母山兽类丰富度高于其他片区, 说明部分物种对家畜活动具有一定的容忍度。获得了海南热带雨林国家公园兽类的物种组成、相对多度和人为干扰信息, 为后续的科学研究和保护管理提供了重要的理论基础。

     

    Abstract: Hainan Tropical Rainforest National Park, which contains the largest contiguous area of tropical rainforest in China, harbors rich biodiversity. Therefore, this study was performed to assess the current status of mammalian diversity and anthropogenic disturbances within the park. From July to November 2023, totally 301 infrared cameras were deployed in a 4 km ×4 km grid across seven areas of the national park to systematically survey mammal species richness and anthropogenic disturbances. Altogether 53, 942 camera trap days were recorded, which could yield 2, 729 independent and valid photographs of mammal species. In total, 19 species of wild mammals were documented, belonging to 5 orders and 11 families. Among them, two species were listed under national first-class protection, and four species under second-class protection, accounting for 31.6% of all surveyed wild mammal species. In addition, one species was classified as Critically Endangered (CR) and another as Endangered (EN) by the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, together representing 10.5% of the total number of species. The five species with the highest relative abundance index (RAI) included Atherurus macrourus (RAI=0.13), Rattus exulans (RAI=0.09), Ratufa indica (RAI=0.07), Callosciurus erythraeus (RAI=0.07), and Melogale moschata (RAI=0.03). Our results demonstrated that anthropogenic disturbances existed to varying degrees in all seven areas, with Wuzhishan experiencing more frequent human activities and Limushan suffering greater livestock disturbance. The richness of mammal species in Limushan was higher than that in other areas, indicating that some species might exhibit tolerance to moderate levels of livestock presence. Moreover, this study provided essential baseline data on the species composition, relative abundance, and spatial distribution of mammals, as well as anthropogenic disturbances across Hainan Tropical Rainforest National Park, providing vital insights for future research and conservation management.
