摘要

脊椎动物对农作物的破坏和消耗是人类与野生动物之间冲突的一个重要来源。这在小水果作物的背景下尤为重要,比如蓝莓,它们非常显眼,体积小,靠近地面,允许各种脊椎动物整个吞下大量的蓝莓。在本研究中,我们评估了鸟类和哺乳动物食用蓝莓的模式,以及食用蓝莓对西班牙北部蓝莓果园作物产量的影响。为此,我们在蓝莓果园中通过直接观察和相机陷阱对食果脊椎动物群落进行了表征,并对不同成熟日期的蓝莓品种进行了排除实验。这项研究连续两年在8个果园进行。共有14种鸟类和4种哺乳动物食用蓝莓,其中黑鹂(Turdus merula L.)和野猪(Sus scrofa L.)占80%以上。在果园和栽培品种中都可以观察到黑鸟的食果行为,而野猪的蓝莓觅食则是高度局部化的。排除实验证明了脊椎动物对蓝莓产量的负面影响。然而,这种影响在不同的地点并不均匀,从没有影响到产量损失的74%不等。同样,脊椎动物的影响也取决于品种,早熟品种比晚熟品种更容易受到产量损失。需要进一步的研究来确定是什么外在因素(果园和景观结构)和内在因素(脊椎动物的丰度和生理需求)导致了不同地点和品种之间所观察到的产量损失变异性。在管理方面,我们建议优先采用阻鸟方法,以尽量减少脊椎动物的负面影响。

Vertebrate frugivory in blueberry crops: Patterns across birds and mammals and consequences for yield
Damage and consumption of crops by vertebrates represent a significant source of conflict between humans and wildlife. This is particularly relevant in the context of small-fruit crops, such as blueberries, which are highly conspicuous, small-sized, and situated close to the ground, allowing a wide range of vertebrate species to swallow them whole and in large quantities. In the present study, we assessed the patterns of blueberry consumption by birds and mammals, and the effect of consumption on crop yield, in blueberry orchards in northern Spain. To this end, we characterised the fruit-eating vertebrate community through direct observation and camera traps in blueberry orchards, and conducted exclusion experiments in blueberry cultivars that ripen at different dates. The study was conducted in eight orchards over two consecutive years. We recorded 14 bird species and four mammal species consuming blueberries, with common blackbird (Turdus merula L.) and wild boar (Sus scrofa L.) accounting for more than 80 % of consumption events. Whereas frugivory by blackbirds was observed across orchards and cultivars, blueberry foraging by wild boar was highly localised. The exclusion experiments evidenced a negative impact of vertebrate frugivory on blueberry production. However, this impact was not homogeneous across sites, ranging from no impact to 74 % of yield loss. Similarly, vertebrate impact depended on the cultivar, with the early ripening cultivar being more susceptible to yield losses than late ripening cultivars. Further research is needed to ascertain what extrinsic (orchard and landscape structure) and intrinsic (abundance and physiological requirements of vertebrates) factors are responsible for the observed variability in yield loss across sites and cultivars. In terms of management, we recommend to prioritise bird deterrent methods to minimise the negative impact of vertebrates.

期刊介绍: The Editors of Crop Protection especially welcome papers describing an interdisciplinary approach showing how different control strategies can be integrated into practical pest management programs, covering high and low input agricultural systems worldwide. Crop Protection particularly emphasizes the practical aspects of control in the field and for protected crops, and includes work which may lead in the near future to more effective control. The journal does not duplicate the many existing excellent biological science journals, which deal mainly with the more fundamental aspects of plant pathology, applied zoology and weed science. Crop Protection covers all practical aspects of pest, disease and weed control, including the following topics: -Abiotic damage- Agronomic control methods- Assessment of pest and disease damage- Molecular methods for the detection and assessment of pests and diseases- Biological control- Biorational pesticides- Control of animal pests of world crops- Control of diseases of crop plants caused by microorganisms- Control of weeds and integrated management- Economic considerations- Effects of plant growth regulators- Environmental benefits of reduced pesticide use- Environmental effects of pesticides- Epidemiology of pests and diseases in relation to control- GM Crops, and genetic engineering applications- Importance and control of postharvest crop losses- Integrated control- Interrelationships and compatibility among different control strategies- Invasive species as they relate to implications for crop protection- Pesticide application methods- Pest management- Phytobiomes for pest and disease control- Resistance management- Sampling and monitoring schemes for diseases, nematodes, pests and weeds.
