Habitat Selection of Emberiza janknowshkii Taczanovski

Abstract:

Jankowskis bunting Emberiza janknowshkii Taczanovski is a glacial relict species. Habitat selection of jankowskis bunting Emberiza janknowshkii Taczanovski was investigated in Keerqin grassland of Inner Mongolia. The results showed that E. janknowshkii had obvious choice of habitat preference. Perch, the coverage of earth surface and height of plant had a significant impact on habitat selection of E. janknowshkii. Therefore, we should strengthen the protection for apricot, reduce human activities, such as cut grass, and protect height and coverage vegetation. And E. janknowshkii should be enclosure protected.
