Abstract

It is well documented that physiological and nutritional condition of wintering birds is strongly related to migration success to breeding sites, and also breeding success. However, how abiotic factors during winter affect the migration and breeding successes still remains unclear. Thus, this study developed a dynamic-state-dependent model for wintering life-history to identify the potential impact on the life-history, success to breeding site and breeding success of wintering birds, which are related to temperature fluctuation, interspecific competition and human disturbance at the wintering sites. To find the best-fit-model, we referred to the existing research data on wintering ecology of Red-crowned cranes (Grus japonensis) in Cheolwon, Korea, which is well documented as a long-term wintering study. Our model predicted that the higher temperature fluctuation and a higher rate of human disturbance are negatively related to migration success to breeding sites and their fitness, ultimately breeding success via changing of proportion in resource allocation (for e. g., lower energy compensation or higher level of stress accumulation). Particularly, the rate of body mass compensation after arrival at wintering sites may be accelerated when there are less temperature fluctuations and a lower rate of human disturbance. In addition, the rate of interspecific competition sharing the wintering foraging sites is negatively related to the rate of body mass compensation. Consequently, we discussed the conservation strategies of wintering birds based on the outcomes of the model.

월동기간 동안 월동조류의 생리 및 영양학적 상태는 이후 번식지로의 이동성공과 번식성공에 영향을 줄 수 있음은 잘 알려져 있다. 그러나 환경적 요인들이 월동기간 동안 어떻게 몸 상태에 영향을 주어 장기적으로 이동과 번식에 영향을 주는지에 대해서는 아직까지 잘 알려져 있지 않다. 본 연구는 월동기간 동안 온도변화와 월동지에서의 인간 활동에 따른 방해가 개체수준에서의 월동하는 조류의 생활사에 미치는 영향과 번식지로의 이동 및 잠재적 번식 성공에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위해 동적상태의존 월동 생활사 모델을 개발하였다. 모델에 사용된 지수는 월동개체군에 대한 연구가 잘 수행되어 있는 철원의 두루미 자료를 이용하였다. 모델은 온도 변화나 인간의 방해요인의 영향이 생존과 번식지로의 이동을 위한 에너지 축적 그리고 누적된 스트레스의 감소를 위한 자원 분배에 영향을 주는 것으로 예측하였다. 특히 월동지에 도래한 두루미 몸무게의 회복률은 기온변화가 적고 방해요인의 영향이 낮을수록 빨랐으며, 체내의 누적 스트레스는 기온변화가 크고 방해요인의 영향이 높을수록 회복속도가 낮을 것으로 예측되었다. 또한 월동지의 취식지를 공유하는 다른 종의 밀도가 높을수록 두루미의 몸무게 회복률이 낮은 것으로 예측되었다. 끝으로 모델의 예측된 결과를 통해 월동지에서의 월동조류 보전전략에 대해 고찰하였다.
