Abstract

: Installing an artificial nest box has a positive effect on the cavity nesters such as great tit ( Parus major ). Beyond the process of installing an artificial nest box, a study on the effect of ecological factors on breeding performance is necessary. This study was conducted to evaluate the ecological factors influencing breeding performance of great tits ( Parus major ) in artificial nest boxes in temperate mixed forests. In this study, the first egg-laying date and percentage of shrub were closely related among ecological factors. Variable influencing clutch size was date of first egg-laying date. Percentage of shrub had a positive relation to hatching success and fledgling success. First egg-laying date may represent quality of parental individuals. In addition, shrub can provide better food resources and has an impact on hatching success and fledgling success. These results suggest that higher quality of parental individual predominates the better the foraging site for enhancing breeding success. Also, managing shrubs in the forest appear to have a positive effect on breeding performance. Moreover, long-term ecological research is needed for the conservation of the birds and their habitats.

影响大山雀人工巢箱繁殖性能的生态因素

：安装人工巢箱对大山雀（Parus major）等穴巢鸟有积极影响。除了安装人工巢箱的过程之外，还需要研究生态因素对繁殖性能的影响。本研究旨在评价影响大山雀在温带混交林人工巢箱中繁殖性能的生态因素。在本研究中，灌木的首次产卵日期和百分比与生态因素密切相关。影响离合器大小的变量是第一个产卵日期。灌木比例与孵化成功率和初出茅庐成功率呈正相关。第一个产卵日期可能代表亲本个体的质量。此外，灌木可以提供更好的食物资源，并对孵化成功和初出茅庐的成功产生影响。这些结果表明，亲本个体的质量越高，觅食地就越适合提高繁殖成功率。此外，管理森林中的灌木似乎对繁殖性能有积极影响。此外，保护鸟类及其栖息地还需要进行长期的生态研究。
