论文摘要
近几十年来，运输基础设施的快速增加对鸟类物种产生了许多影响，包括碰撞死亡率，栖息地丧失，破碎和噪声。本文研究了交通噪音和道路引起的破碎化对塞浦路斯繁殖鸟类丰富度的影响。塞浦路斯位于鸟类的主要迁徙路线之一，拥有丰富而多样的Avifauna，受到不断扩大的道路网络和欧洲最高的道路密度的威胁。在第一份岛范围内的研究中，我们使用了10 km x 10 km网格电池中记录的102只繁殖鸟类的数据。在每个单元格中，我们计算了道路交通噪声和八个与道路相关的物业。大多数网格电池都会受到强烈的碎片和交通噪声的影响，甚至在受保护区域（例如Greco Cape和Troodos massif）中，撞击热点的组合噪声也会受到。差异分配的结果表明，与道路相关的特性（总道路范围和道路长度）占物种丰富度变化的59％，其次是与碎片相关的特性和噪声特性。该研究提出了对道路网络对鸟类和道路建设的影响的进一步深入研究，特别是在地中海群岛内的保护区。
The rapid increase of transportation infrastructure during the recent decades has caused a number of effects on bird species, including collision mortality, habitat loss, fragmentation and noise. This paper investigates the effects of traffic noise and road-induced fragmentation on breeding bird richness in Cyprus. Cyprus, situated along one of the main migratory routes for birds, has a rich and diverse avifauna threatened by an ever-expanding road network and a road density among the highest in Europe. In this first island-wide study we used data from 102 breeding birds recorded in 10 km x 10 km grid cells. Within every cell we calculated road traffic noise and eight road-related properties. Most of the grid cells are subject to intense fragmentation and traffic noise with combined impact hotspots located even within protected areas (such as Cape Greco, and the Troodos Massif). Results from variance partitioning indicated that road-related properties (total road extent and road length) accounted for a combined 59% of variation in species richness, followed by fragmentation-related properties and noise properties. The study posits the need for further in-depth research on the effects of road networks on birds, and road construction, particularly in protected areas within Mediterranean islands.
