The Effect Of Food In Habitat Selection Of Siberian Musk Deer

For most animals, the food resources is the most common limiting factor, but few know the quality of the food and how quantity affects the animal’s choice of foraging habitat and distribution. September 2013 and December 2014, and December 2015, in call in the national nature reserve total laid field sample line survey amounted to 71 article, and in each article sample line Shang interval 200m laid 100m2 (lOmxlOm) of sample party amounted to 424 a, which summer laid sample party 153 a, winter laid sample party 261 a, on original musk food quality and number on its intake Habitat select effect for research, obtained following results:1, Using field observation and stool analysis research, Preliminary study on determination of Siberian musk deer grazing plant species there are 44. Determine the Siberian musk deer in the summer grazing food for 24, and winter food for 20 species.2, through the determination of 100m2 (10mx10m) sample of Siberian musk deer in edible food quantity and quality in different forest types, differences in elevation, slope gradient, slope aspect, we have summer and winter Siberian musk deer food quality and quantity and forest types, elevation, slope gradient, slope aspect of multivariate linear mixed models (GLMM). And calculate the number of Siberian musk deer in summer food distribution 38.69% of the Habitat, low quantity distribution of food and habitats habitats habitats 61.31% area. Winter Habitat area and 26% of food distribution, low quantity distribution of food and habitats habitats habitats 74% area Siberian musk deer habitat area of 36.66% of high quality Habitat in summer, low quality Habitat Habitat area was 63.34%. Winter Habitat of high quality Habitat with 27.72%area, low-quality habitats habitats habitats 72.28% area.3, Through the Siberian musk deer in summer and winter activities and the relation between the quality and quantity of food distribution, we predict the food quality and quantity of Habitat selection of Siberian musk deer in food intake affected the results. In summer, original musk on intake Habitat of select by food number decided, that select the area can food food protein high of Habitat, and food of number on its intake Habitat of select effect smaller; in winter, original musk on intake Habitat of select by food number decided, that select the area can food food of food rich degrees high of Habitat, food of quality on its intake Habitat of select effect smaller.4, Through the protected area in Siberian musk deer in summer and winter food quantity and quality of foraging habitat selection by the results, ensure the integrity of the Siberian musk deer foraging habitat, forest litmus and rhododendron dauricum 1. Siberian musk deer can eat without destroying the vegetation gradually resuming Siberian musk deer populations are very important.
