Diet of the Chinese Water Deer (Hydropotes inermis)in Zhoushan Archipelago, China
摘要
Abstract
This study was to determine what kind of feeders the Chinese water deer are in Zhoushan Archipelago, China. The study was conducted by using observation of feeding signs in the wild, microhistological analysis of feces,and feeding trials. The results showed that Chinese water deer fed on a total of 137 plant species, included in 61 families and 115 genera. Leguminosae plants were selected most,both in numbers of species and frequency of occurrences. Even though they maintained a relatively constant usage level of plant species and families, the numbers of both decreased from spring to winter, but diet in summer and autumn were similar to that in spring. All of the four plant types (forbs, graminoids, woody plants and forbs) were taken year-round with no significant differences, even though they were varied among seasons, however all types except woody plants showed significant variation among seasons. Herbage intake decreased while that of woody plants increased,from spring to winter. Woody plants and forbs were dominant,while graminoids were rare in the diet of the deer. The results suggested that the Chinese water deer is a concentrate feeder or a browser in Zhoushan Archipelago, Zhejiang Province, China.关键词
