摘要
2011年8月到2012年4月间,在上海市浦东新区华夏公园獐重引入试点,采用目标取样、扫描取样和全事件记录法,对圈养条件下6只成体雄獐(Hydropotes inermis)的6种领域行为进行观察,并利用放射免疫分析法(RIA)测定雄獐粪便中的睾酮水平变化。结果表明,雄獐的许多领域行为发生频次表现出明显的月间变化,包括打斗、威胁、取代、追逐和粪尿标记;擦额标记行为频次虽月间差异不显著,但与其他领域行为一样在11月份出现频次峰值。发情期(2011年10月~2012年1月)和非发情期(2011年9月、2012年2~4月),打斗、威胁、粪尿标记和擦额标记行为发生频次差异显著;取代和追逐行为频次差异不显著。6种领域行为的发生频次均在发情期明显高于非发情期。粪便睾酮含量在发情期和非发情期差异显著,发情期明显高于非发情期,其含量在12月份达到峰值(51.16±9.85)ng/g。雄獐的威胁、擦额标记、粪尿标记和打斗行为发生频次与睾酮水平呈显著的正相关性,而取代和追逐行为与睾酮水平变化不具有显著相关性。
By the method of focal sampling, instantaneous scan sampling and all-occurrence recoding, we observed six territory behaviors, included fighting, threatening, displacing, chasing, forehead scrap-marking and defecating-marking, of 6 captive male Chinese Water Deer (Hydropotes inermis) from August 2011 to April 2012 in the Huaxia Park of Pudong, Shanghai. The fecal testosterones were analyzed by radio-immunoassays to investigate the correlation between hormone and territory behaviors. The results indicated that there were significant differences in fighting, threatening, displacing, chasing, and defecating-marking among months (P〈 0.05, one-way ANOVA analysis). The deer spent significantly more time on all of the six behaviors in November. There were significant differences in fighting, threatening, forehead scrap-marking and defecating- marking between estrus (from October 2011 to January 2012) and non-estrus (September 2011, from February 2012 to April 2012) (P 〈 0. 05, Independent samples T test). The deer spent significantly more time on all of the six behaviors in estrus. In estrus, the fecal testosterone concentration level increased obviously than in non- estrus, and it reached the highest level in December (51.16± 9.85 ng/g). The fecal testosterone levels were closely correlated with threatening, forehead scrap-marking, defecating-marking and fighting.
