摘要
通过研究棕色田鼠(Microtus mandarinus)在同性及异性尿液气味源刺激下的行为及尿标记数量差异,探讨了棕色田鼠尿液在个体性别识别中的作用.结果表明:棕色田鼠能够通过尿液进行性别辨识,雌雄棕色田鼠通过尿液进行性别识别中存在性二型.
The function of urine from mandarin voles in individual sex identification was investigated by using the method of observing their behavior responses and differences in their urine markings, stimulated by the urine smell from the same and opposite sexes. The investigation result showed that mandarin voles could identify sexes by means of urine and sexual dimorphism existed in their sex identification.
