被捕食动物对捕食者的识别研究及在放归中的应用

Predator Recognition in Prey Animals and the Application in Reintroduction Program

对捕食者的认知能力是当前生态学研究的一个热点。一些物种具有对捕食者先天的识别能力,而一些物种必须通过后天学习才能获得对捕食者的认知能力,还有许多动物通过社会学习和文化传播获得对捕食者的识别能力。本文就国外被捕食动物对捕食者的识别的研究进展进行综述,并讨论了该项研究对野外放归工作提供的重要理论意义和应用价值。

Predator recognition is a hotpot in contemporary ecological research.Some prey species possess genetically programmed abilities to recognize predators,while other studies contrastingly find that some prey may require to learn about particular stimuli to express recognition responses and evidence for social learning about dangerous predators and cultural transmission of predator recognition and teaching has been found in many animals.Present research and development of predator recognition in prey animals outside the country are reviewed in this paper.These results are significant to the theoretical research and practical applications of ongoing rehabilitation as well as reintroduction programs.
