Display Sites Selection by Houbara Bustard (Chlamydotis undulata) in Eastern Jungar Basin,Xinjiang

  • Display sites selection by Houbara bustard in eastern Jungar Basin,Xinjiang were studied from April to July 2000.Plant species richness,vegetative density,v egetative cover and distance to the bushy patches are the most important factors for houbaras to select their display sites.They display in the habitats with re latively low plant species richness,vegetative density and vegetative cover.However,most of display sites are close to bushy patches.Those vegetation structur es of display sites that have short sub-shrubs scattered with densely bushy patches provide an ideal habitat for houbara surviving and breeding.
