Avian behaviour changes in response to human activity during the COVID-19 lockdown in the United Kingdom 收藏

鸟类行为在英国的共同锁定期间对人类活动的响应发生变化
摘要
Human activities may impact animal habitat and resource use, potentially influencing contemporary evolution in animals. In the United Kingdom, COVID-19 lockdown restrictions resulted in sudden, drastic alterations to human activity. We hypothesized that short-term daily and long-term seasonal changes in human mobility might result in changes in bird habitat use, depending on the mobility type (home, parks and grocery) and extent of change. Using Google human mobility data and 872 850 bird observations, we determined that during lockdown, human mobility changes resulted in altered habitat use in 80% (20/25) of our focal bird species. When humans spent more time at home, over half of affected species had lower counts, perhaps resulting from the disturbance of birds in garden habitats. Bird counts of some species (e.g. rooks and gulls) increased over the short term as humans spent more time at parks, possibly due to human-sourced food resources (e.g. picnic refuse), while counts of other species (e.g. tits and sparrows) decreased. All affected species increased counts when humans spent less time at grocery services. Avian species rapidly adjusted to the novel environmental conditions and demonstrated behavioural plasticity, but with diverse responses, reflecting the different interactions and pressures caused by human activity.

人类活动可能会影响动物栖息地和资源的使用,可能影响动物的当代进化。在英国,Covid-19锁定限制导致了突然的,对人类活动的急剧改变。我们假设,人类流动性的短期每日和长期季节性变化可能会导致鸟类栖息地的使用变化,具体取决于移动性类型(家庭,公园和杂货店)和变化程度。使用Google人类流动性数据和872 850鸟观察,我们确定在锁定过程中,人类的移动性变化导致80%(20/25)的栖息地改变了我们的焦点鸟类。当人类在家里花更多的时间时,超过一半的受影响物种的数量较低,这可能是由于花园栖息地中鸟类的干扰而引起的。由于人类在公园里花费更多的时间,可能是由于人类食品资源(例如野餐垃圾),而其他物种的数量(例如,山雀和麻雀)减少,一些物种的鸟类数量(例如,菜鸟和海鸥)在短期内增加了。当人类在杂货服务上花费更少的时间时,所有受影响的物种都增加了计数。鸟类物种迅速调整为新的环境条件并表现出行为可塑性,但反应多样,反映了人类活动引起的不同相互作用和压力。
