粪便学在有蹄类动物数量调查研究中的应用与展望

Application and Development of Scatology in Researches on Ungulate Abundance

随着与分子生物学的结合,传统的粪便学不仅拓宽了在种群生态学、行为生态学及保护遗传学等研究时取样的范围,而且能提供更多的有效信息,使得传统的粪便计数方法得以在新的领域里发展。本文对传统粪便学在有蹄类动物数量研究中的应用加以总结,并结合国内外研究现状对分子粪便学在这一领域内的可靠性、局限性及应用前景做了概述。

Scatology plays an important role in abundance researches of wild animals, especially in ungulate researches. With the combination of molecular biology, traditional scatology explores new areas of population biology, behavior ecology and conservation biology. Traditional applications of pellet group counting methods have been summarized and molecular scatology is analyzed of reliability and limitation. Suggestions for future research are also made.
