[Objectives] Zhejiang Wuyanling National Nature Reserve ranks second in area among the nature reserves in Zhejiang Province. It boasts abundant animal resources and serves as the sole in-situ conservation and artificial propagation base for the Cabot’s Tragopan Tragopan caboti in China. It is a habitat for national-level protected birds like the Elliot’s Pheasant Syrmaticus ellioti. There is a dearth of in-depth research on how ground-dwelling birds of Galliformes utilize their habitat within this reserve. [Methods] In this study, infrared camera monitoring was employed to record the activity patterns of three rare and endangered avian species:Cabot’s Tragopan, Elliot’s Pheasant, and Silver Pheasant Lophura nycthemera. By integrating MaxEnt software with Worldclim climate data, we investigated the current and future alterations in their suitable habitats. The daily activity rhythm model, calculated via R software (v 3.6.3), was combined with the MaxEnt model results. Then, ArcGIS (v 10.8.1) was utilized to comprehensively predict future habitat conflicts among the three species and explore the underlying causes. [Results] (1) The current distribution ranges of the three avian species showed overlapping areas (Table 1, Fig. 2). (2) All the three species exhibited diurnal activity patterns with highly repetitive daily rhythms. Statistical analysis showed no significant differences in their activity rhythms (P > 0.05, Fig. 3). (3) Projections suggest that the habitats of these three species will undergo changes over the next 20 years. Specifically, the suitable habitat for the Cabot’s Tragopan will decline, while the suitable habitats of the other two species will overlap with that of the Cabot’s Tragopan, potentially leading to habitat conflicts (Table 2, Fig. 4). [Conclusion] To enhance the protection of these three species, particularly the Cabot’s Tragopan, and mitigate conflicts, efforts should be made to actively promote infrared monitoring, artificial breeding, and field releases. Additionally, the nature reserve and local authorities should introduce scientific conservation policies based on the species distribution patterns.
