Nest survival rate of Reeves's pheasant (Syrmaticus reevesii) based on artificial nest experiments.

摘要: To explore the nest survival rate of Reeves's pheasant(Syrmaticus reevesii) and nest-site factors that affect it, we conducted artificial experiments with reference to natural nests at Dongzhai National Nature Reserve(DNNR), Henan Province Pingjingguan, Hubei from April June 2014 simulating situation in its early later breeding season. We also determined distance characteristics sites using ArcGIS 10.0. Nest models were constructed Program MARK for data analysis. Results indicated season, apparent rate(ASR) DNNR(52.4%) was significantly greater than Pingjingguan(13.5%), ASR season DNNR(26.7%) not indistinctively correlated Pingjingguan(3.2%). The daily rate(DSR) 93.8% DNNR 92.0% respectively. DSRs both negatively forest edges settlements. DSR Pingjingguan positively paths water sources. However, but
