本研究利用紅外線自動照相機調查福山植物園區內中大型哺乳類動物與地棲性鳥類的物種組成與出現頻度。相機調查自2022年4月20日至2023年4月9日,架設10處相機位點,總工作時數為32,360小時,共記錄中大型哺乳類動物4目8科10種,其中包含二種珍貴稀有野生動物,二種其他應予保育之野生動物。鳥類共記錄4目10科12種,其中包含三種珍貴稀有野生動物,五種其他應予保育之野生動物。在所記錄的中大型哺乳動物中,山羌(Muntiacus reevesi micrurus)的出現頻度最高,臺灣獼猴(Macaca cyclopis)次之,鼬獾(Melogale moschata subaurantiaca)第三,而在鳥類中藍腹鷴(Lophura swinhoii)的出現頻度最高,臺灣山鷓鴣(Arborophila crudigularis)次之,黃胸藪眉(Liocichla steerii)第三。在季節變化上,臺灣野山羊和臺灣獼猴在夏秋兩季較高,春冬兩季則較低,山羌、鼬獾、白鼻心、食蟹獴及麝香貓則呈現春冬較高,夏秋較低的趨勢。藍腹鷴的出現頻率則有明顯的月份變化,以三月最高。本研究提供福山植物園有關中大型哺乳相動物與鳥類的出現頻度和季節變化等基礎資料,可作為園區的生物多樣性保育和生態系統管理的參考。
This study utilized infrared automatic cameras to investigate the species composition and occurrence frequency of medium to large mammals and ground-dwelling birds within the Fushan Botanical Garden. The camera survey was conducted from April 20, 2022, to April 9, 2023, with 10 camera sites set up, totaling 32,360 hours of operation. The survey recorded 10 species of medium to large mammals from 4 orders and 8 families, including two species of precious and rare wildlife (class II) and two other species requiring conservation (class III). A total of 12 bird species from 4 orders and 10 families were recorded, including three species of precious and rare wildlife and five other species requiring conservation. Among the recorded medium to large mammals, the Reeves's muntjac (Muntiacus reevesi micrurus) had the highest occurrence frequency, followed by the Formosan macaque (Macaca cyclopis) and the yellow-throated marten (Melogale moschata subaurantiaca). Among the birds, the Swinhoe's pheasant (Lophura swinhoii) had the highest occurrence frequency, followed by the Taiwan partridge (Arborophila crudigularis) and the Steere's liocichla (Liocichla steerii). In terms of seasonal variation, the occurrence frequency of the Formosan serow (Capricornis swinhoei) and the Formosan macaque was higher in the summer and autumn seasons, and lower in the spring and winter seasons. On the other hand, the Reeves's muntjac, yellow-throated marten, masked palm civet (Paguma larvata taivana), crab-eating mongoose (Herpestes urva formosanus), and small Indian civet (Viverricula indica pallida) showed a trend of higher frequency in spring and winter and lower frequency in summer and autumn. The occurrence frequency of the Swinhoe's pheasant showed significant monthly variation, with the highest frequency in March. This study provides fundamental data on the occurrence frequency and seasonal variation of medium to large mammals and birds in the Fushan Botanical Garden, serving as a reference for biodiversity conservation and ecosystem management within the area.
