Winter habitat requirements of White Eared-pheasant Crossoptilon crossoptilon and Blood Pheasant Ithaginis cruentus in south-west China

Determining the distribution loss of brown eared-pheasant (Crossoptilon mantchuricum) using historical data and potential distribution estimates

We analyzed the synchronous relationship between forest cover and species distribution to explain the contraction in the distribution range of the brown eared-pheasant (Crossoptilon mantchuricum) in China. Historical resources can provide effective records for reconstructing long-term distribution dynamics. The brown eared-pheasant's historical distribution from 25 to 1947 CE, which included th...

Breeding Habitat Selection of Reeves's Pheasant (Syrmaticus reevesii) in Dongzhai National Nature Reserve, Henan Province, China.

Reeves's Pheasant (Syrmaticus reevesii) is a threatened pheasant species endemic to China. The habitat use of territorial male birds was surveyed by the help of live decoys in a core area of Dongzhai National Nature Reserve. The breeding habitat selection of this pheasant was examined at two scales (115 m and 250 m scale, i.e. 4.15 hm(2 ) and 19.63 hm(2 ), respectively), including the character...

Fear Effects on Pheasant Reproductive Ecology and a Curriculum to Teach Wildlife Habitat Selection

Predator-prey interactions elicit shifts in prey behavior, physiology and lifehistory that can impact prey population dynamics and community structure to the same extent as prey consumption (Turner and Mittelbach 1990, Ripple and Beschta 2004). An emerging body of literature addressing the ‘landscape of fear’ shows substantial immediate impacts of fear on prey hormone concentrations, body condi...
