長期生態監測是國家公園管理自然資源的重要基石。本研究回顧玉山國家公園自1982至2018年的116篇脊椎動物研究文獻,並清查各文獻所累積紀錄的物種名錄,以期作為玉山國家公園後續推展相關生態監測與指標生物研究的參考。結果顯示玉山園區歷年文獻以哺乳類為主要對象的研究有57篇、鳥類21篇、兩棲類8篇、魚類2篇及綜合性與其他調查28篇,本研究分別就不同脊椎動物類群的研究成果來進行回顧。在物種紀錄資訊部分,各文獻內有哺乳類物種紀錄的有88篇、鳥類69篇、爬蟲類13篇、兩棲類21篇、以及魚類8篇,顯示玉山園區的脊椎動物相關研究以哺乳類及鳥類為主,其他類群研究相對較少。清查各文獻所記錄園區脊椎動物包含有哺乳類62種、鳥類233種、爬蟲類47種、兩棲類18種、淡水魚類16種。利用4類陸域脊椎動物之各年度累計物種數及推估物種累積曲線變化發現,園區的哺乳類與鳥類所紀錄物種數已逐漸達穩定飽和狀態,而爬蟲類與兩棲類的累積物種曲線則仍在逐步增加中,顯示園區爬蟲類與兩棲類的物種相調查與相關研究仍有增強推展的空間。
Long-term ecological monitoring is the keystone of national park natural resources management. This study reviewed 116 vertebrate studies in Yushan National Park, Taiwan, from 1982 to 2018, and inventoried all of the vertebrate records to create a complete species checklist. This can serve as a reference for future ecological monitoring and research on indicator species. Our results revealed 57 studies on mammals, 21 on birds, eight on amphibians, two on fishes and 28 on general vertebrate fauna in the Park. We reviewed previous literatures on different vertebrate taxa and recorded 88 studies on mammals, 69 on birds, 13 on reptiles, 21 on amphibians and eight on fishes. In general, vertebrate inventories of Yushan National Park mainly focused on mammals and birds rather than other taxa. Vertebrate species recorded included 62 mammals species, 233 bird species, 47 reptile species, 18 amphibian species and 16 freshwater fish species. We also used accumulated terrestrial vertebrate species number in each year of four taxa and their accumulated species curve to check the completeness of inventoried vertebrates. The results showed that the species records of mammals and birds gradually accomplished stable status, but the accumulated species curve of reptiles and amphibians was still increasing. The species inventories and reptile and amphibian studies in Yushan National Park could be enhanced and strengthened in the future.
