视频轨迹分析技术在昆虫行为学研究中的应用

Application of video trajectory analysis technology in insect behavior research

行为是昆虫生物学功能的体现,评估昆虫行为学效果是昆虫学研究的重要组成部分。传统的昆虫行为学研究主要以直接观察和手工记录为主,存在定性武断和耗时费力等诸多问题。现代视频记录技术的应用,极大地推动了昆虫行为学的发展。本文综述了昆虫视频轨迹分析技术的发展过程,及其在昆虫飞行行为、雌雄关系、运动模式和捕食行为等方面的应用。

Behavior of insect organisms represents their function. Estimating insect behavioral effects is one of the most important parts for insect research. However, traditional detection methods of insect behavior depend mainly on the direct and manual observation, which causes arbitrary qualifying, time and labor wasting, and other prob- lems. The modern technologies, such as the electronic technology, computer, especially the video recording technol- ogy, are playing an important role for promoting the advancement of entomology. This paper reviews the developing process of the video trajectory analysis technology in relation to insect behavior and its utilization for study on flight behavior, interaction between males and females, movement model and preying activity of natural enemies.
