灵长类家域研究进展

Review of Researches on Home Ranges of Primates

综述了国内外灵长类家域研究的进展,总结了灵长类家域研究的方法,探讨了影响灵长类家域面积及其利用模式的生态因子。体型大小、群生物量和食性通常被认为是影响灵长类家域大小的3个重要因素,可以在很大程度上解释灵长类家域面积的种问差异。在种群水平上,食物资源、群体大小、生境质量、夜栖地和水源的位置则是灵长类家域模式常见的影响因素。灵长类家域研究方法主要侧重于二维家域的估算,常见的方法包括最小凸多边形法、Kernel分析法和网格分析法。三维家域的求算开始越来越多地被应用到灵长类家域研究中。

Researches on the primate home range in China and abroad were reviewed,showing that 3 important factors determining the primate home range and the use pattern were the body size of the animal,the group biomass and the diet,possible to interpret the variation of the home range of different species.On the population level,food resources,abundance and distribution, group size,habitat quality,nest site locality and water source were common factors.Minimum convex polygon,fixed kernel method and grid - cell method were commonly used for studying Estimation of the home range in three dimension level was coming into the study.
