煤气炮噪声暴露对家鸽粪便皮质酮变化的影响

煤气炮驱鸟是目前机场驱鸟的主要手段之一,主要依靠煤气爆炸产生的高分贝噪声。但是,鸟类在长期暴露于噪声条件下或者驱鸟时机把握不佳,鸟类可能习惯噪声甚至产生耐受性,进而影响驱鸟效果,相关量化研究仍较为缺乏。本研究以家鸽(Columba livia domestica)为研究对象,随机选取健康成年个体作为对照组用于检验环境背景噪声的影响;设置7个实验组,分别布设于20 m间隔的噪声源距离梯度,采集煤气炮噪声处理前1 d和处理后2 d、5 d、8 d、11 d、14 d、17 d、20 d的粪便样品,噪声持续暴露(4次/h)。采用酶联免疫吸附方法测定粪便皮质酮浓度。以粪便皮质酮浓度为因变量,以煤气炮噪声持续时间和距噪声源距离为自变量,进行Pearson相关性分析。采用单因素方差分析(ANOVA)进行差异分析。结果显示,家鸽粪便中皮质酮含量在距离煤气炮噪声源10 m处平均值达最大值,(174.67±5.09)ng/g(n=35),而最小值(139.42±0.92)ng/g(n=35)则出现在130 m。家鸽距噪声源距离与粪便皮质酮含量呈显著负相关关系,Pearson′s r=﹣0.954,P <0.01。噪声持续时间和距噪声源距离对粪便皮质酮均有显著影响,且二者存在交互作用,随着噪声源距离增大,皮质酮浓度回复到煤气炮噪声处理前水平所需时间越来越短。在噪声源距离大于90 m时,粪便皮质酮水平不随噪声持续时间变化而变化。粪便皮质酮水平可作为鸟类响应噪声刺激的生理反应指标,基于此评价了煤气炮噪声在机场驱鸟的有效性,为机场鸟击防治提供科学依据。     

基于机场鸟情特点的驱鸟设备使用探讨

鸟击是随着飞机诞生而出现的一个全球性问题,具有突发性和多发性的特点。中国民航面临鸟击风险逐渐上升的趋势。根据重庆江北国际机场的鸟情数据,对比中国民航、部分国内机场和美国民航鸟击数据发现,机场具有飞行区集群活动鸟类、迁徙季节、飞行区及周边区域鸟击高发的特点。为加强对飞行区及周边区域鸟情的干扰和驱赶,笔者对目前市场上常见的声音、视觉、物理、化学等各类驱鸟设备（措施）作用原理及有效性进行分析,指出机场面临关键区域、重要时段驱鸟措施使用受限,驱鸟设备本身效果不足以及即时驱鸟设备对鸟情处置后果不确定等问题,并就此提出机场驱鸟设备配置与安装使用的建议,以期为机场驱鸟设备配置与使用提供参考。     

咸阳国际机场鸟类群落调查及鸟击防范措施

2012年10月至2013年9月,在咸阳国际机场及周边地区,采用样带法结合固定半径样点法开展鸟类种群的野外调查。共记录到鸟类147种(包括家鸽),隶属16目34科。通过对鸟类密度、飞行高度、集群行为、是否穿越跑道及其重要值等数据进行危险等级评估。结果表明:全年潜在最危险鸟类有红隼、普通燕鸥、家鸽、家燕、白头鹎、灰椋鸟、灰喜鹊和麻雀等8种;在此基础上提出了避免鸟击的预防措施,如飞行区生态环境改造和机场飞行区范围内的鸟情动态管理。这些研究结果对咸阳国际机场预防鸟击事件的发生提供了有效的数据支撑。     

机场周边家鸽飞行行为的潜在鸟击风险初步研究

鸟击防控是一个世界性难题。家鸽（Columba livia domestica）是机场生物多样性调查中最常见鸟类,也是历史上鸟击高危物种之一,还是唯一由于人工大量放飞导致严重鸟击事故的物种。2020年9月至2021年1月,在我国4个机场,针对机场周边23家鸽户,共149只家鸽开展卫星追踪放飞实验研究,获得了家鸽个体在机场周边的飞行时间、飞行距离、飞行高度等个体运动参数。研究发现,1）单次放飞时长多在1 ~ 4 h,单次平均放飞时长为（2.9 ± 1.6）h。在鸽户自主放飞家鸽和家鸽自由回笼的动态过程中,下午活动在外的家鸽数量较多,尤其15:00 ~ 17:59时段是活动在外家鸽数量最多的时段。2）飞行距离多在3.0 km范围内,最远可达8.9 km;存在家鸽飞行范围覆盖机场现象的鸽户占比45%。3）飞行高度主要在200 m及以下,平均飞行高度为（29 ± 28）m。本研究结果表明,下午,尤其是15:00 ~ 17:59时段应作为家鸽防控的重点时段,机场周边10 km以及高度0 ~ 200 m的范围应作为家鸽防控的重点空间范围。根据《中华人民共和国民用航空法（2021修正）》第五十八条明确规定“不得饲养、放飞影响飞行安全的鸟类动物和其他物体”,需要建立相应的问责机制、加强有效监管,以降低家鸽鸟击风险。     

机场鸟击特点及防范体系构建

鸟击是威胁机场飞行安全的主要因素之一,根据机场鸟击特点有针对性地制定鸟击防范体系对提升飞行安全、减少经济损失具有重要意义。本文收集了重庆市江北机场2009—2016年的鸟击事件信息并送检鸟击残留物,在2010年3月—2011年2月调查了江北机场及周边区域的鸟类群落,将江北机场鸟击物种信息与鸟类群落的物种信息进行相似性分析,同时将江北机场的鸟击信息数据与中国民航2007—2015年的鸟击信息数据进行对比研究。结果显示:(1)江北机场鸟击物种与飞行区鸟类群落的相似性显著高于农耕区(t=2.507,P=0.041)和城镇园林(t=2.562,P=0.037),其中,夏季白天的鸟击物种与飞行区鸟类群落相似性最高(S=0.413 8),表明飞行区鸟类鸟击率更高,是鸟击防范工作的重点区域,夏季更应关注飞行区的鸟类控制;(2)江北机场与中国民航鸟击在季节、时间等方面基本一致,均呈现秋、夏、春季以及夜间鸟击高发的特点;(3)迁徙鸟和家鸽Columba livia domestica、燕子、树麻雀Passer montanus、小云雀Alauda gulgula等部分机场当地常见鸟是鸟击高发的物种。根据分析结果,结合江北机场及各机场鸟击防范工作经验,本文建议从组织机构、制度管理、监控、信息分析、设备防范、环境管理、航班动态调整、应急处置等方面构建鸟击防范体系,以期为江北机场及其他机场提供参考。     

重庆江北机场鸟击特点分析及防范建议

为了解鸟击规律,作者收集了重庆江北机场2009—2013年的鸟击事件信息并对鸟击残骸进行送检,共收集鸟击事件信息189起,其中白天77起,占40.74%,夜间112起,占59.26%。鸟击数据显示:春、夏、秋季是鸟击高发季节;8月和11月为白天鸟击高发月份;夜间鸟击高发在春季(4、5月)和秋季(8、9、10月);鸟击多发种类有小云雀、家鸽、家燕、金腰燕、白鹡鸰、池鹭、大杜鹃及蝙蝠等。结合江北机场鸟类群落调查数据分析发现:在飞行区集群活动的鸟种容易成为鸟击的高危物种,鸟击发生频率与鸟类生活习性关系密切;迁徙鸟类是江北机场鸟击的最大威胁。本文根据分析结果提出了一些相应的预防措施。     

重庆江北机场鸟类群落结构及鸟击防范

鸟击对民用和军用飞机的飞行安全构成严重威胁,了解和掌握机场及其周边地区的鸟类群落结构对机场开展鸟击防范工作具有重要意义。本研究于2013年6月至2014年5月,采用固定距离样线法对重庆江北机场以机场中心为圆心、半径8 km范围内的区域进行鸟类多样性调查。共记录鸟类102种,隶属于15目、40科。其中留鸟44种,夏候鸟30种,冬候鸟13种,旅鸟15种;雀形目鸟类占绝对优势,计54种,占调查鸟类物种总数的52.94%。对鸟类群落结构分析结果表明,冬季密度最大,夏季最低;秋季的多样性指数最高,夏季最低;春季的均匀度指数最高,夏季最低;夏季的优势度指数最高,秋季最低。结合鸟类的密度D值、分布系数ADC值、鸟击风险值R、相对风险比例RE以及鸟类生活习性等综合分析,与鸟击发生关系密切的鸟种为家燕(Hirundo rustica)、灰椋鸟(Sturnus cineraceus)、八哥(Acridotheres cristatellus)、黑卷尾(Dicrurus macrocercus)、金翅(Carduelis spinus)、珠颈斑鸠(Phasianus colchicus)以及人工饲养物种家鸽(Columba domestica)等,根据调查结果对重庆江北机场的鸟击防范工作提出了综合防治建议。     

机场鸟击防治的景观生态学途径

鸟击事件是全球范围的航空难题。随着我国生态环境的改善和航班量的增多,近年来鸟击事件逐年增加。科学快速的识别机场周围高危鸟类防治的关键区域,合理使用景观生态学途径来布局与规划鸟击防治手段是机场鸟击研究的空白点。对华北地区某机场的鸟情和生态环境开展调研,得到该机场及其周边地区的3种高危鸟类分布规律。通过构建高危鸟类的生态安全格局,并结合分区域防治的思路,最终得到该机场高危鸟类防治生态安全格局。从而识别出需要驱赶、防范与引诱的斑块、廊道与战略点,进而采取排斥力与吸引力结合的双向驱鸟策略。研究结果表明：（1）该机场8 km范围内鹭科类分布较多,廊道密集;雁鸭类与鸥科类栖息地较少但仍有廊道穿场。应对该范围内林地、水域等环境进行整修与清理,减少鹭科类的栖息地,切断高危鸟类飞行廊道。（2）该机场8-15 km范围内应重点做好雁鸭类的防护,及时切断雁鸭类向8 km范围内飞行的廊道。加强保护和改造连接15 km范围外的鸟类飞行廊道。（3）该机场15-20 km范围内应增加鸟类吸引力,打造连续的保护战略点,从而形成环状飞行廊道,将高危鸟类控制在安全范围内。

阜阳机场鸟类多样性及其危险性

2008年6月至2010年1月,对阜阳机场及其周围5种生境(草地、农田、城镇、湿地、林地)的鸟类进行调查,并对不同季节、不同生境的鸟类多样性进行分析.结果表明:本次调查共记录到鸟类122种,隶属于15目40科;阜阳机场夏、秋季的鸟类种数显著高于冬、春季,秋季鸟类密度显著高于其他季节,夏季的鸟类多样性指数、均匀度指数均高于其他季节;在阜阳机场及其周边的5种生境中,林地的鸟类种数、密度均显著大于其他生境,林地、湿地、农田的鸟类多样性较高;对阜阳机场鸟击最危险的鸟种是麻雀、白头鹎、家燕、家鸽、喜鹊、珠颈斑鸠、灰椋鸟等.     

The role of landscape in shaping bird community and implications for landscape management at Nanjing Lukou International Airport

Understanding the patterns of bird diversity and its driving force is necessary for bird strike prevention. In this study, we investigated the effects of landscape on phylogenetic and functional diversity of bird communities at Nanjing Lukou International Airport (NLIA). Bird identifications and counting of individuals were carried out from November 2017 to October 2019. Based on the land-cover data, the landscape was divided into four main types, including farmlands, woodlands, wetlands, and urban areas. Bird phylogenetic and functional diversity were strongly affected by landscape matrix types. Species richness and Faith's phylogenetic distance were highest in woodlands, while mean pairwise distance (MPD), mean nearest-taxon distance (MNTD), and functional dispersion (FDis) were highest in wetlands. Based on the feeding behavior, carnivorous birds had the lowest species richness but had the highest FDis, which implied that carnivorous birds occupied most niches at the NLIA. Moreover, bird assemblages exhibited phylogenetic and functional clustering in the four kinds of landscapes. A variety of landscape attributes had significant effects on species diversity, phylogenetic and functional diversity. Landscape-scale factors played an important role in the shaping of bird communities around NLIA. Our results suggest that landscape management surrounding airports can provide new approaches for policymakers to mitigate wildlife strikes.     

Actual and perceived collision risk for bird strikes at Namibian airports

At Namibia’s two major airports, Hosea Kutako International and Eros (domestic), 117 bird strike collision incidents were recorded between 2006 and 2010. A risk assessment, which included a proposed risk weighting methodology, was conducted at Hosea Kutako and Eros airports, which estimated the probability of an accident/collision as well as the consequence of such a collision. The assessment included surveys of bird occurrence frequencies as well as pilot interviews. The results of the risk assessments were compared with actual bird strike incidences for each species, frequency of occurrence of birds and pilot perceptions of species risk, in order to find whether risk assessment and pilot perception are reliable measures of potential bird strike incidence. White-backed Vulture Gyps africanus and Helmeted Guineafowl Numida meleagris were the highest risk species at both airports. They were also, after Crowned Lapwing Vanellus coronatus, the species most often observed by pilots. Bird strike records showed that Crowned Lapwing and Helmeted Guineafowl were also the most frequently struck birds at both airports. The study illustrates how combining risk assessment, pilot perception and bird strike history can benefit bird strike minimisation plans at airports through the rapid identification of priority bird species.     

沈阳桃仙国际机场鸟类夜间迁徙规律

在鸟类迁徙季节,夜间鸟击事故频发是机场鸟击发生的一个显著特点.了解鸟类的夜间迁徙规律对于改进夜间鸟击防范措施具有重要的指导意义.本研究综合采用网捕法和声音记录法对沈阳桃仙机场夜间鸟类迁徙物种组成和迁徙规律进行研究.结果表明: 56种鸟类(占比88.9%)具有夜间迁徙习性,且以后半夜迁徙为主;鸟类夜间迁徙具有明显的时间动态和迁徙次序,春季鸟类迁徙较为集中,迁徙高峰在5月中旬,主要鸟类由鹌鹑、红尾伯劳、栗耳鹀、黑喉石鵖、普通夜鹰、黄眉柳莺等组成,秋季迁徙较为分散,迁徙高峰出现在9月下旬至10月上旬,主要由鹌鹑、灰背鸫、红喉鹨、丘鹬、矛斑蝗莺和灰头鵐等组成.对夜间迁徙鸟类的危险等级评估发现,春季严重危险物种是鹌鹑和红尾伯劳,秋季严重危险物种是鹌鹑、纵纹腹小鸮、灰背鸫和丘鹬.分别从夜间迁徙鸟类组成、迁徙动态、时间节律和物种危险等级等角度提出了相应的鸟击防范对策,为桃仙机场鸟击防范提供参考.     

The role of farm structure on bird assemblages around a Kenyan tropical rainforest

Although it is clear that the farmlands neighbouring fragmented forests are utilized by some forest birds, it is not clear how birds in general respond to farmland habitat mosaic. An effort was made to determine how bird density and foraging assemblages were influenced by farm structural characteristics and distance from forest edge. Thirty farms up to a distance of 12 km around Kakamega forest in western Kenya were studied. Farm structure entailed size, hedge volume, habitat heterogeneity, woody plant density, plant diversity and crop cover. Birds were surveyed using line transects and DISTANCE analyses and classified into six feeding guilds and three habitat associations. Size of farms increased away from the forest, as woody plant density, plant diversity, indigenous trees and subsistence crop cover declined. The most important farm structure variable was hedge volume, which enhanced bird species richness, richness of shrub‐land bird species and insectivorous bird density (R = 0.58, P < 0.01). Bird density increased with tree density while indigenous trees were suitable for insectivores and nectarivores. There were very few forest bird encounters. Agricultural practices incorporating maintenance of hedges and sound selection of agroforestry trees can enhance conservation of birds on farmland, though, not significantly for forest species.     

样线法和网捕法在机场鸟情调查中的应用比较

鸟击事件主要发生在机场范围内,对机场周边生境的鸟类组成进行调查,是制定鸟击防范对策的重要前提。国内多数机场已经开展了相关的鸟类组成调查,但是选用的调查方法却存在较大差异。以样线法和网捕法两种常用的调查方法对沈阳桃仙国际机场周边的迁徙期鸟类进行了研究,旨在比较两种调查方法在机场鸟类群落组成调查中的效果及调查的鸟类群落组成差异。结果表明：两种方法均适合机场鸟类调研,共记录到鸟类97种,网捕法记录的鸟类种数（83种vs.57种）高于样线法,网捕法单独记录的鸟类种数（40种vs.14种）也高于样线法。尽管两种方法每期（半个月）调查的物种数和目的数量无明显差别,但随调查强度（如调查次数）增加,网捕法累计记录到的鸟类种类明显高于样线法,且较晚达到渐近线。另外,两种方法调查记录的鸟类群落组成也具有显著的差别,如网捕法记录到较多鹌鹑和鸮形目等夜间迁徙或活动鸟类,而样线法可记录到鹭科和雁鸭类水鸟等。这说明两种调研方法在鸟类调查中有较好的互补性。因此,本研究认为机场鸟情调研时应该根据鸟情特点,选择合适的鸟类调研方法,综合采用多种调研方法可更有利于获得科学的鸟情信息。     

Adjusting count period strategies to improve the accuracy of forest bird abundance estimates from point transect distance sampling surveys

Although point transect distance sampling methods have become widely used in surveys of forest birds, there has been no attempt to tailor field methods to maximize the accuracy of abundance estimates by minimizing the effects of violations of the method's critical assumptions, which are: (1) birds at distance 0 m are detected with certainty, (2) birds are detected at their initial location and (3) distances to objects are measured accurately. We investigate the effects on abundance estimates for Philippine forest birds of varying the count period from 2 to 10 min, and of including and excluding a pre‐count settling down period. Encounter rates were highly sensitive to count period length but density estimates from 10‐min count periods were, on average, only 13% higher than those from 2‐min periods, and in several cases were actually lower than those from periods of 6–8 min. This was because birds tended to be recorded at greater distances from the recorder as the count period went on, thus ‘stretching out’ detection functions while having little effect on detection rates close to the recorder. For some bird groups, including canopy frugivores and upperstorey gleaning insectivores, density estimates were more than twice as high without than with a settling down period. We suggest that movement away from the recorder is more common than attraction to the recorder, and that unless pilot studies show otherwise, similar studies should not use a settling down period for surveying many species. Count periods that maximized probability of bird detection close to the central point while minimizing the unwanted effects of bird movement during the count period were: 4 min for omnivores, 6 min for nectarivores and upperstorey gleaning insectivores, 8 min for understorey insectivores and canopy frugivores, and a full 10 min for sallying insectivores, ground‐dwellers, carnivores and coucals/koels. We use the results to suggest ‘group‐specific’ count period regimes that could help maximize the accuracy of density estimates from similar studies of tropical forest birds.     

Climate change leads to decreasing bird migration distances

Global climate change has led to warmer winters in NW Europe, shortening the distance between suitable overwintering areas and the breeding areas of many bird species. Here we show that winter recovery distances have decreased over the past seven decades, for birds ringed during the breeding season in the Netherlands between 1932 and 2004. Of the 24 species included in the analysis, we found in 12 a significant decrease of the distance to the wintering site. Species from dry, open areas shortened their distance the most, species from wet, open areas the least, while woodland species fall in between the other two habitats. The decline in migration distance is likely due to climate change, as migration distances are negatively correlated with the Dutch temperatures in the winter of recovery. With a shorter migration distance, species should be better able to predict the onset of spring at their breeding sites and this could explain the stronger advancement of arrival date found in several short distance species relative to long-distance migrants.     

基于功能和谱系视角分析繁殖留鸟对风机的响应

风电作为清洁可再生绿色能源越来越受到世界各国的重视,其建设规模也在不断扩大,导致风电建设与鸟类保护的矛盾进一步凸显,如何协调风电发展与物种保护已成为生态学家和保护生物学家关注的热点主题。为了探究风机对鸟类物种、功能和谱系的影响,本研究于2019年1、3、4、5月,采用样线法对连山风电场的鸟类多样性进行了4次调查。根据样线离风机距离的远近设置4个梯度: 100～300 m有6条样线,300～500 m 有13条样线,500～700 m 有8条样线,>700 m 有5条样线。结果表明: 本次调查中记录了繁殖留鸟76种,隶属于11目31科,目、科中数量最多是雀形目(53种)和画眉科(12种)。鸟类物种丰富度、功能丰富度(FRic)和谱系多样性(Faith PD)随着离风机距离的增加呈增加趋势: 在500 m以内未显著增加,500 m外呈显著增加趋势;鸟类群落水平的扩散能力呈现出增加趋势。鸟类群落的平均成对功能和谱系距离的标准化效应值(SES.MFD和SES.MPD)均小于0,其中显著低于随机值的样线占比约为50%(P<0.05)。风力发电机对鸟类物种、功能和谱系的影响主要在前500 m的距离;本研究的4个梯度中,鸟类群落的功能和谱系结构均表现为聚集特征。研究证实,风机对鸟类的影响是多维度的,在评估风机对鸟类群落的影响时仅考虑物种多样性可能难以提供全面的信息。     

声学指数在城市森林鸟类多样性评估中的应用

鸣声是鸟类之间进行沟通和传递信息的重要方式,这为通过声学监测评估鸟类多样性提供了独特的机会。利用声学指数快速评估生物多样性是一种新兴的调查方法,但城市森林中的复杂声环境可能会导致声学指数的指示结果出现偏差。为了解声学指数在城市森林中应用的可行性,本研究在北京市东郊森林公园设置了50个矩阵式调查样点,于2021年4–6月每月进行1次鸟类传统观测和同步鸣声采集,通过比较两种方法的结果来探究声学监测的有效性。采用Spearman相关分析和广义线性混合模型评估6个常用声学指数与鸟类丰富度和多度的关系,并衡量了每个指数的性能。结果表明:(1)本研究共记录到鸟类10目23科35种,通过声学监听识别的总物种数与传统鸟类观测相等,但具体鸟种存在差异;(2)不同月份间声学指数与鸟类丰富度和多度的相关性有明显差别,声学复杂度指数(ACI)和标准化声景差异指数(NDSI)优于其他指数,是评估鸟类多样性的关键变量;(3)声学指数对鸟类多度的预测能力(R²m=0.32,R2c=0.80)要高于丰富度(R²m=0.12,R2c=0.18)。声学指数为快速评估生物多样性提...
