不同因素对动物家域面积的影响

Effects of Different Factors on Animal Home Range Size

对动物家域大小的研究是动物生态学与保护生物学的基本研究领域之一,对评价动物的生境质量、生境选择、栖息地负载量具有重要意义.迄今对动物家域的研究主要集中在家域面积的测算方法,但研究不同因素对动物家域面积的影响是更重要的生态学问题.文章综述了不同因素对动物家域面积影响的研究成果,包括性别、季节、种群密度、捕食风险、婚配制度和人类影响,以促进该领域的进一步发展.

Study on animal home range size is one of fundamental areas for animal ecology,and is necessary for related areas such as evaluating animal habitat quality,habitat selection,and carrying capacity evaluation.Up to now,studies of animal home range have been concentrated on evaluation home range size,however,effect of different factors on home range size is even more important for animal ecological studies.We summarized the studies of effect of different factors on home range size including sex,seasonality,population density,predation pressure,mating system and anthropogenic influence.
