摘要

在自然保育中,引起公众兴趣、关注或情绪是保护自然、生物群落和物种的重要手段;在这方面,具有魅力的旗舰物种起着重要作用。本研究通过对现存5个脊椎动物纲(哺乳类、鸟类、爬行类、两栖类和鱼类)的物种进行分析,确定了该物种与一个分类单位的隶属关系以及形态、生态和保护特征。谷歌利用5类中每一类20个谷歌搜索次数最多的物种的趋势数据,得出代表性指数,并对这些物种的体重、饮食和保护状况进行了分析。在引入表征指数的帮助下,对哺乳动物物种的兴趣明显集中。此外,具有较高体重的物种在数据中明显被过度代表。总的来说,确定了研究特征中的重要模式:属于哺乳动物,大体重和食肉性饮食在这些物种中经常出现。出于保护的目的,这些受欢迎的物种可以被特别挑选为旗舰物种或大使,以帮助保护整个生物群落,因此也会使不那么有魅力的物种受益。简要讨论了利用被认为是制造旗舰的特征来促进全球保护工作的可能方法。

Google Trends data reveal a sharp trend: teeth and claws attract more interest than feathers, hooves or fins
Summary In nature conservation, the generation of public interest, attention or emotions is an important instrument for nature, biotope and species protection; in this, charismatic flagship species play an important role. In the present study, flagship-making affiliation to a taxonomic unit as well as morphological, ecological and conservation traits were identified by analysing vertebrate species from each of the five extant vertebrate classes (Mammalia, Aves, Reptilia, Amphibia and fishes). Google Trends data on the 20 most Googled species of each of the five classes were used, a representation index was derived and the body mass, diet and protection status of these species were analysed. A clear concentration of interest in mammalian species was evident with the help of the introduced representation index. Furthermore, species with a higher body mass were clearly overrepresented in the data. Overall, important patterns in the studied traits were determined: belonging to Mammalia, a large body mass and a carnivorous diet are frequently represented among these species. For conservation purposes, such popular species can be specifically selected as flagship species or ambassadors to help protect entire biomes, which will therefore benefit less charismatic species as well. Possible ways to use traits that are perceived to be flagship-making in order to further the global conservation endeavour are briefly discussed.

期刊介绍: Environmental Conservation is one of the longest-standing, most highly-cited of the interdisciplinary environmental science journals. It includes research papers, reports, comments, subject reviews, and book reviews addressing environmental policy, practice, and natural and social science of environmental concern at the global level, informed by rigorous local level case studies. The journal"s scope is very broad, including issues in human institutions, ecosystem change, resource utilisation, terrestrial biomes, aquatic systems, and coastal and land use management. Environmental Conservation is essential reading for all environmentalists, managers, consultants, agency workers and scientists wishing to keep abreast of current developments in environmental science.
