Abstract

To investigate the diversity and spatial distribution of mammals and birds in Zhejiang Jiangshan Xianxialing Provincial Nature Reserve,camera traps were set in 1 km×1 km grids at 89 sites from December 2018 to October 2019.A total of 4 778 independent photographs were obtained from 14 906 camera-trapping days.A total of 50 species were identified from camera trapping images,including 19 mammal species belonging to 5 orders and 12 families and 31 avian species belonging to 4 orders and 12 families.Of these,three species (Tragopan caboti,Syrmaticus ellioti and Muntiacus crinifrons) are listed as Class Ⅰ national protected animals of China,and 10 species are listed as Class Ⅱ,including Macaca thibetana,Ursus thibetanus and Prionailurus bengalensis,etc.The top five mammalian species with the highest photograph rate (PR) were Muntiacus reevesi,Arctonyx collaris,Melogale moschata,Sus scrofa,and Paguma larvata.The top five avian species with the highest PR were Lophura nycthemera,Bambusicola thoracicus,Tragopan caboti,Pucrasia macrolopha,and Myophonus caeruleus.This was the first study that assessed the diversity of mammals and birds based on camera trapping in Xianxialing Nature Reserve.The results of this study can provide baseline data for long-term monitoring of wildlife resources and provide the scientific basis for the design of biodiversity conservation programs.

Key words： Species diversity; Endemic species; Cabot's tragopan(Tragopan caboti); Black muntjac(Muntiacus crinifrons); Asiatic black bear(Ursus thibetanus)
