Abstract

From 18 January to 21 February 2007，the feeding site selection of ring-necked pheasants （Phasianus colchicus） was surveyed in the National Nature Reserve of Mount Qingliangfeng in Zhejiang Province. Representative sampling method was used to find their feeding sites，and the variables affecting their feeding site selection were determined according to the condition of observed area. The principal component analysis was used to define the variables which were important for their feeding site selection，and then the independent-samples t and Mann-Whitney U were used to analyze the selectivity. A total of 14 feeding sites were found. The ring-necked pheasants prefer the under slope position as their feeding site （for 64.29% of all feeding sites）. Owing to the common effects of the food richness and concealment condition，the species select feeding sites with the higher richness of shrub and grass，the lower grass density and cover，and especially prefer the close shrub and sparse grass （50.00%）. ［Ch，2 fig. 3 tab. 35 ref.］
