鹿科动物声音通讯的研究进展

Research Development of Vocal Communication in Cervidae

所有鹿科Cervidae动物都要依赖视觉、嗅觉和听觉线索进行交流,声音通讯作为一种高效的交流方式,在群体生活中起着非常重要的作用。本文列举了鹿科动物发情鸣叫、警戒鸣叫、交流鸣叫、求救鸣叫等叫声类型,总结了其发声机制,探讨了声音与鹿科动物自身信息的相关性、叫声对两性繁殖行为的影响,以及鹿科动物对种内和种间叫声的识别,并介绍了鹿科动物声音通讯的研究方法。最后,对鹿科动物声音通讯未来的研究方向进行了展望。

Deer rely on visual,olfactory and auditory cues to communicate. Vocal signals constitute a very efficient sys-tem of communication, and play a central role in connecting the members of the group. In this review, we listed various types of calls in Cervidae, such as rutting calls, alarm calls, contact calls and distress calls, and then the vocal mechanisms were summarized. We also discussed the relationship between acoustic parameters and signaler information, the effects of calls on reproductive behaviors of both sexes, as well as the intraspecific and interspecifi discriminations of vocal signals.Additionally, we also introduced several research methods for the vocal communication in Cervidae. Finally, we proposed some potential study fields for the vocal communication in Cervidae and provided some positive suggestions.
