Abstract：
The North China leopard (Panthera pardus japonesis) is a rare leopard subspecies distributed only in China. In this study, we conducted camera-trap surveys of a North China Leopard population in Tie Qiao Shan Nature Reserve, Shanxi Province, China. We estimated population abundance and density distribution, and explored the effects of distribution of different prey populations, habitat, and anthropogenic factors on the spatial distribution of North China leopard density. Our results suggested that the North China leopard density was 4.23 individuals/100 km2, and that 17.98 individuals might live within the study area. The population density of the North China leopard increased with the distribution of wild boars, and, on the contrary, decreased with the distribution of roe deer. We found that habitat environmental factors and anthropogenic interference also significantly affected the population density and spatial distribution of the North China leopard. These insights informed us that in order to protect this predator, which is only distributed in China, we should adopt a comprehensive customized adaptive landscape protection strategy.
摘要：
华北豹（Pantherapardusjaponesis）是仅在中国分布的稀有豹亚种。在这项研究中,我们对铁桥山自然保护区的华北豹种群进行了相机陷阱调查，山西省,中国。我们估计了人口丰度和密度分布，并探讨了不同猎物种群分布的影响，栖息地,和人为因素对华北豹密度空间分布的影响。我们的结果表明，华北豹的密度为4.23个个体/100km2，并且可能有17.98个个体生活在研究区域内。华北豹的种群密度随着野猪的分布而增加,and,相反,随着the的分布而减少。我们发现，栖息地环境因素和人为干扰也显着影响了华北豹的种群密度和空间分布。这些见解告诉我们，为了保护这个捕食者，只在中国分布，我们应该采取全面定制的适应性景观保护策略。
