Bird Diversity and Bird-Strike Risk at Lincang Boshang Airport.

ABSTRACT: Accurate assessment of avian community structure and bird-strike risk within airport ecosystems is vital for balancing aviation safety with biodiversity conservation. From October 2019 to July 2020, we conducted systematic bird surveys at Lincang Boshang Airport (Yunnan, China) and its surrounding area. By integrating taxonomic, functional, and phylogenetic diversity analyses, we examined spatial-temporal patterns of bird diversity and characterized bird-strike risk. In total, 4859 individuals of 148 species were recorded, representing 51 families and 15 orders. The avifauna was dominated by broadly distributed Oriental-Palearctic species, reflecting the pronounced biogeographic transition of southwestern Yunnan. Functional diversity (FD) and phylogenetic diversity (PD) differed significan
