Abstract：[Objective]In order to obtain the diversity and distribution characteristics of terrestrial birds and mammals in Wuzhifeng Nature Reserve.[Method]Jiangxi Province In order to understand the population demography and distribution characteristics of birds and mammals in Wuzhifeng Nature Reserve,From January 2018 to July 2022,camera traps were installed to investigate the diversity of birds and mammals in the Wuzhifeng Nature Reserve,Jiangxi provice.A total of 13 camera traps were set up,with an intensive survey of 21018 efficient camera days.days,and 4782 independent photos were obtained in the reserve..[Result]We recorded 20 bird species of 3 orders and 10 families,and 18 mammal species of 4 orders and 11 families,These included two Class I and eight species of Class II state key protected wild animals.Lophura nycthemera(72.183)was the most abundant and widely occurred of bird,and Muntiacus reevesi(91.984)was the most abundant and widely occurred of mammal.There are no significant difference seasonal changes in species richness index of bird and mammal;Different habitats and altitude analysis show that the mammal's diversity index in the broad-leaved forest is notably higher than that of the mixed coniferous and broad-leaved,the bird abundance was highest between elevations of 1500 to 1800 meters.The species accumulation curve showed that the number of bird species was still increasing,it is recommended that the management department increases the number of infrared cameras and use of sample line methods to further investigate birds in the future.[Conclusion]Although this result is limited by the number of infrared cameras,this survey provides basic and valuable information about species composition and diversity of bird and mammal in Wuzhifeng Nature Reserve,which is of great significance for the conservation and research of biodiversity in the reserve.
