  • 整合多尺度空间与环境数据,用稀释法减少观测偏差。
  • 城市化(光污染)提升少数常见物种数量,但降低整体物种丰富度。
  • 研究方法可复用于其他地区,适合生态保护与规划者参考。

本研究通过整合空间、时间与环境数据,全面分析斯里兰卡鸟类多样性。结合鸟类观测记录与气象、空气污染、归一化植被指数(NDVI)、土地覆盖、海拔及夜间人工照明(ALAN)等变量,经过严格预处理确保数据质量。在2公里、5公里、10公里多尺度网格上开展空间分析,通过空间稀疏化最小化采样偏差。使用稀释后的丰富度和占有率等校正观测努力的指标评估时间趋势。采用泊松广义线性模型(GLMs)与相关分析探究环境驱动因素,识别生态因子与物种丰富度的关键关联。同时分析群落结构、优势度与β多样性,揭示区域与时间上的物种组成变化。研究发现,土地覆盖类型对鸟类多样性的影响强于单独的连续变量(如NDVI或温度)。城市化(以ALAN衡量)表现出依赖尺度的复杂效应:支持少数泛化物种高丰度,但降低总体丰富度。研究为斯里兰卡鸟类多样性模式与驱动机制提供实证依据,并提出可扩展、可重复的生物多样性研究与保护框架。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

This study presents a comprehensive analysis of bird diversity across Sri Lanka by integrating spatial, temporal, and environmental data. Bird observation records were combined with environmental variables, including weather conditions, air pollution, the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), land cover, elevation, and Artificial Light At Night (ALAN), and rigorously preprocessed to ensure data quality. Spatial analyses were conducted on multiple grid scales (2 km, 5 km, 10 km) to evaluate patterns in species richness while minimizing sampling bias through spatial thinning. Temporal trends were assessed using effort-corrected metrics including rarefied richness and occupancy rates to account for variations in observation effort over time. Environmental drivers of bird diversity were examined using multivariate statistical models, including Poisson Generalized Linear Models (GLMs) and correlation analyses, to identify key associations between ecological factors and species richness. Additionally, community structure, dominance patterns, and beta diversity were analyzed to understand variations in species composition across regions and time. The study found that land-cover type is a stronger predictor of bird diversity than individual continuous variables such as NDVI or temperature alone. Urbanization, measured by ALAN, exhibits nuanced scale-dependent effects, supporting high abundances of a few generalist species while reducing overall richness. The findings provide actionable insights into the patterns and drivers of avian diversity in Sri Lanka, offering a scalable and reproducible framework for biodiversity research and conservation planning.
