化学通讯在哺乳动物的诸多生命活动中起到重要作用,包括个体识别、社会交流、社会等级划分、交配繁殖等(侯东敏等,2020)。针对夜行性哺乳动物,化学通讯对其社会行为的调节作用尤为明显(Macdonald,1985)。尿液是动物机体新陈代谢的产物,...化学通讯在哺乳动物的诸多生命活动中起到重要作用,包括个体识别、社会交流、社会等级划分、交配繁殖等(侯东敏等,2020)。针对夜行性哺乳动物,化学通讯对其社会行为的调节作用尤为明显(Macdonald,1985)。尿液是动物机体新陈代谢的产物,也是哺乳动物化学通讯过程中重要的信号来源之一。在种内、种间信息交流的过程中,动物通过尿液能够传递个体、性别、年龄等讯息,以达到性别识别、性选择、告警、领域标记等目的,此过程对物种的生存、繁衍至关重要(Zhang et al.,2008;Zhang et al.,2019;鲜义坤等,2019;侯东敏等,2020)。展开更多
