　　When birds face the destruction of their habitat, some species don’t make it while others survive. But what happens at the very beginning of the process, just as a bird"s habitat starts to change?

　　當鳥類棲息地遭遇破壞時，其中一些物種會因此滅絕，而有些物種則會生存下來。但在整個過程開始時，即鳥類的棲息地開始發生變化時發生了什么呢?

　　Research in Argentina"s Monte Desert has provided some answers. Protects parts of the desert have lots of plant diversity: trees, tall shrubs, short shrubs, grasses and flowering plants. With so many options, most seed-eating birds choose to feast on large grass seeds. The birds can get all the energy and nutrients they need with minimal effort.

　　阿根廷蒙特沙漠所做的科學研究為我們提供了一些答案。在受保護的部分沙漠地區，其植物多樣性較豐富：樹木、高灌木、矮灌木、草地以及開花植物應有盡有。在有如此多選擇的情況下，大多數以種子為食的鳥類會選擇吃較大的草籽。這樣只需付出一點努力，這些鳥就能獲得它們所需的所有能量和營養。

　　But when cattle show up to graze the desert"s natural landscape, birds face changes in food availability. Some birds are happy to change their diets in response. Others, not so much. And it"s the ones set in their ways that are at the highest risk. Understanding how birds react to grazing can help conservationists figure out how to help those species most in jeopardy

　　但是當這片沙漠植被區出現放牧的牛群時，這里的鳥類就面臨著食物供應發生變化的問題。這時，有一些鳥類會很樂意改變它們的飲食習慣。而另一些則不然。正是那些不肯改變生存方式的鳥類面臨的風險最大。了解鳥類對放牧群體出現的反應，可以幫助自然資源保護主義者找出幫助那些最危險物種的辦法。

　　Ecologists from the Argentine Arid Zones Research Institute compared soil samples from the desert"s ?acu?án biosphere reserve to samples from two neighboring cattle ranches. They discovered that grass seeds—the birds" favorites—were just one quarter as likely to be found in the ranches compared with the reserve.

　　來自阿根廷干旱地區研究所的生態學家們將沙漠中Nacunan生物圈保護區的土壤樣本與兩個相鄰的牛牧場的土壤樣本進行了比較。他們發現，牛牧場內發現的鳥類最愛的草籽似乎僅是保護區內發現的四分之一。

　　Next, they captured birds and flushed their digestive tracts to see what they were eating. The Common Diuca-Finch [finch sounds] and the Rufous-Collared Sparrow [sparrow sounds] had adjusted their diets, opting to dine on their less preferred options at the ranches, even while they still focused on large grass seeds in the reserve.

　　然后，他們捕捉鳥類并對它們的消化道進行沖洗以觀察其進食情況。普通的拉丁雀和紅領帶鹀調整了它們的飲食習慣。它們選擇在牧場上吃它們并不太喜歡的食物，雖然在保護區內它們仍然會主要去進食較大的草籽。

　　Meanwhile, the Many-Colored Chaco Finch [chaco finch sounds] and the Ringed Warbling-Finch [warbling finch sounds] were apparently unable to switch their foraging tactics. Even at the ranches, they worked hard to find the few grass seeds available. If they burn more energy foraging than they get from the few seeds they find, they could starve. At best, their dietary rigidity could limit their ability to reproduce or to care for their young. The results are in the journal The Condor.

　　與此同時，彩雀和黑領歌鹀明顯無法改變它們的覓食策略。即使是在牧場，它們也仍會努力尋找數量較少的可食用的大草籽。如果它們為此消耗的能量大于它們能找到的食物的能量，那它們就會挨餓。即便作最樂觀的估計，這種飲食結構僵化也會限制它們的繁殖能力或照顧其后代的能力。該研究結果發表在《禿鷲》雜志上。

　　Studies like this can help predict which species are at higher risk in degraded habitats. And they can help ranchers protect these vulnerable species, even while allowing their livestock to graze. For example, the ranchers can plant species for their cattle that will also be more palatable and nutritious for local seed-eating birds. The cows won"t care about the menu change—but the birds sure will.

　　這樣的研究有助于預測在退化的棲息地中，哪些物種面臨的風險更高，還可以幫助牧場主在放牧的同時保護這些脆弱的物種。比如，牧場主可以為牛群種植那些同時能夠為當地食草籽的鳥類提供更有營養價值也更美味的植物。雖然牛群不會在意它們食譜的變化——但那些鳥類卻會。
