Abstract

Though recent research has explored the negative impact of human infrastructure on large waterbirds, few studies have examined behavioural byproducts such as roosting or nesting on transmission wires. Here, we document our observation of a joint roost of White-breasted Cormorant Phalacrocorax lucidus and African Darter Anhinga rufa on transmission lines in the Western Cape, South Africa. We highlight current gaps in understanding communal roosting, joint roosts between species, and roosting on infrastructure, and provide recommendations for future directions of study.  
睡在钢索上:栖息在输电线路上的白胸鸬鹚和非洲斑背鸬鹚
虽然最近的研究探讨了人类基础设施对大型水鸟的负面影响,但很少有研究调查了行为副产品,如栖息或筑巢在输电线路上。在这里,我们记录了我们对南非西开普省输电线路上白胸鸬鹚(Phalacrocorax lucidus)和非洲鸬鹚(Anhinga rufa)联合栖息的观察。我们强调了目前在了解群落栖息、物种间联合栖息和基础设施栖息方面的差距,并对未来的研究方向提出了建议。
