中国候鸟的环志研究和在亚太地区的地位

中国环志五年来,已建环志站点45处,累计环志放飞鸟类达186种、37060只。同期回收到国内外环志鸟171只、计57种。来自7个国家和地区的环志鸟提供了候鸟跨亚洲—澳洲、亚洲—欧洲迁徙途径,以及候鸟飞越喜马拉雅山脉迁徙的证据,解释了历史上对此问题的疑点。中国的复杂生态环境和地理位置、已知候鸟迁徙于中国与各洲之间的信息、中国与亚太地区24个国家和地区相同种候鸟的分析统计情况表明:中国大陆作为东亚与北亚、南亚次大陆、澳、美、欧、南太平洋之间候鸟迁徙终端的夏候鸟繁殖地、冬候鸟越冬地以及旅鸟的停息地的国家,对于研究亚太地区候鸟迁徙规律,对于研究各国环志鸟信息的回收和繁殖生态特点、生存率及其他生态生物学信息的收集都起着重要作用。

STUDY ON THE CHINESE MIGRANT BIRD BANDING AND ITS STATUS IN ASIA-PACIFIC AREA

China is situated in the eastern part of Asia. Her complicated ecological environment provide good conditions for breeding, overwintering and dwelling for 1186 species of birds.Thousands of years ago, the seeds of Chinese bird banding originated. But scientifically large-scale bird banding and bird migration research started in the end of 1982. In the past five years, the Chinese bird banding research has begun to take shaps and 45 banding station have been set up. The number of freeing banded birds accumulated to a total of 37 060 individuals, 186 species. The total number of recoveries of banded birds domestic and abroad were 171 individuals, 57 species. The banded birds coming from seven countries or regions not only proved migratory channel of migrant birds covering from Asia to Australia and from Asia to Europe but also provided the evidence of flying over Himalaya mountain range that gave an answer to the historic questionable points.The information of the birds' migration between China and other countries is known to all. The statistical data of the same species of migrant birds in China and other 24 Asian-Pacific countries shows that China is the country of summer migrant bird breeding territory, winter migrant bird hibernaculum of bird migrating terminal as well as the travelling birds' stopping area, for it is located among eastern Asia, northern Asia, southern Asia subcontinent and Australia, America, Europe, Southern Pacific Ocean. China plays an important role in the research of bird migratory regularity in Asian-Pacific area, recoveries and breeding ecological characteristics, the rate of existence as well as collecting other ecobiological information. Therefore China is situated in the key place which can not be replaced.
