摘要

Abstract

Wetlands are among the most productive and essential ecosystems on earth

but they are also highly sensitive and vulnerable to climate change and human disturbance. One of the current scientific challenges is to integrate high-resolution remote sensing data of wetlands with wildlife movements

a task we achieve here for dynamic waterbird movements. We demonstrate that the White-naped cranes

Antigone vipio

wintering at Poyang Lake wetlands

southeast of China

mainly used the habitats created by the dramatic hydrological va

riations

i.e. seasonal water level fluctuation. Our data suggest that White-naped Cranes tend to follow the water level recession process

keeping close to the boundary of water patches at most of the time. We also highlight the benefits of interdisciplinary approaches to gain a better understanding of wetland ecosystem complexity.
