庐山国家级自然保护区同域分布的鼬獾和花面狸时空分布格局
Temporal and spatial distribution patterns of Chinese ferret-badger(Me-logale moschata)and masked palm civet(Paguma larvata)in the same re-gion of Lushan National Nature Reserve
摘要
Abstract
Species with sympatric distributions typically undergo ecological niche differentiation to minimize competi-tion and facilitate coexistence.This research explores the spatio-temporal distribution patterns of the Chinese ferret-bad-ger(Melogale moschata)and masked palm civet(Paguma larvata),their interactions with environmental factors,and the mechanisms behind their coexistence.We analyzed the daily activity rhythms and the degree of temporal niche overlap between these species within the Lushan National Nature Reserve using daily activity intensity index,kernel density esti-mation,and overlap index methods.The MaxEnt model was used to predict suitable habitats for both species and ecolog-ical niche overlap was assessed using ENMTools 1.4.4.We also compare their spatial niche preferences and investigate how environmental factors influence their coexistence strategies.The results reveal that both the Chinese ferret-badger and masked palm civet are predominantly nocturnal.They exhibit a high degree of overlap in their daily activity rhythms(△=0.93,P＞0.05),indicating that temporal niche differentiation does not significantly reduce competition be-tween them.Suitable habitats for both species are primarily located along the forest edges at the mountain bases within the reserve,where there is substantial spatial overlap,although some differences exist.Both species show similar prefer-ences for environmental factors,with altitude being the most significant,yet they differ in their preferences for vegeta-tion types and slopes.These spatial differences in ecological niches may help mitigate competition for food resources and territories.This study underscores that the spatio-temporal distribution patterns of the Chinese ferret-badger and masked palm civet in the Lushan National Nature Reserve exhibit minimal niche differentiation.It is recommended to fully consider the environmental tolerance of both species,actively enhance habitat protection,and control human distur-bances to effectively conserve these and other sympatric species.关键词
