摘      要：Biodiversity is declining at an unprecedented *** grassland species have been lost and are now of conservation *** efficient biodiversity indicators is a key pillar of the global conservation *** Lark(Melanocorypha mongolica) is a charismatic bird species abound in Mongolian steppes,and recent studies demonstrated that this species share similar habitat requirements an d likely co-occur with other grassland *** tested the hypothesis that Mongolian Lark would make a suitable indicator for different aspects of avian *** made a large-scale bird survey in Inner Mongolia,and classified point counts into three groups based on different taxonomic,functional,and phylogenetic biodiversity *** identified species indicators of each group using the indicator value(IndVal) analysis,and examined the bird compositional difference among *** models were used for studying the patterns of occurrence of Mongolian Lark in relation to various biodiversity *** golian Lark showed the highest indicator value in comparison with other potential species *** species richness is significantly higher at sites with Mongolian Lark,an d its occurrence was negatively correlated with species abundance,functional richness,Rao’s quadratic entropy and phylogenetic *** Lark is therefore a suitable indicator species for avian biodiversity in Mongolian *** is highly distinctive in flight and usually seen *** widespread distribution and charismatic appearance make it easy to monitor and adequate for citizen science,and may provide useful information on the paradigm of surrogacy in conservation ecology.
