New Records of Biodiversity in Mabian Dafengding Nature Reserve

For more comprehensive understanding of species resources,new records of species have been investigated by infrared cameras in Mabian Dafengding Nature Reserve since 2016.A total of eight species,including 1 record of a second-level State-protected species (himalayan owl), 4 species with beneficial economic and scientific research value (grey-sided thrush,dark-rumped rosefinch, eurasian woodcock,orange small flying squirrel),and 1 vulnerable species designated by the IUCN red list (grey-sided thrush).It was suggested that analysis should be focused on the animals' distribution area,such as medium altitude (2 100 m~2 600 m),and investigations into habitat suitability and behaviour were needed in order to intensify the supervision and protection.
