- Abstract
From August 2008 to January 2009 we studied habitat selection of red panda (Ailurus fulgens fulgens) in Gaoligongshan Nature Reserve using resource selection functions and resource selection index. Red panda preferred coniferous forest and broad-leaved coniferous forest on eastern and northern slopes located in the mid and upper parts of the hillside in the rainy season, containing larger diameter trees (>30 cm), a low tree density (<6/20 m²), high density bamboo (>70/m² and 40~70/m²) and few stumps (<3/400 m²). In the dry season, red panda preferred coniferous forest and broad-leaved coniferous forest on eastern and southern slopes in mid and upper parts of the hillside, containing larger diameter trees (15~30 cm), good hiding conditions (visibility <10 m), a small number of stumps (<3/400 m²) and a high bamboo density (>70/m² and 40~70/m²).
