【摘要】 2 0 0 2年 3～ 4月对上海动物园人工饲养的黄麂 (Muntiacusreevesi)的标记行为进行了初步研究。结果表明黄麂的标记方式可分为用面腺 (包括额腺和眶前腺 )、尿液和粪便标记 3种。雌雄黄麂用面腺标记的频次差异显著 (P<0 0 1)。面腺标记是雄麂最主要的标记方式 ,占总标记次数的 74 2 7% ;雌麂最主要的标记方式是排便 ( 48 10 % )和排尿 ( 44 30 % )。进入发情期后 ,个体的标记行为变得频繁 ,雄性个体的这种差异尤为显著 (P <0 0 5 ) ,这说明黄麂的标记行为具有发情信号的作用。更多还原

【Abstract】 Scent marking behavior of captive Reeves’ muntjac (Muntiacus reevesi) was studied at Shanghai Zoo from March～April 2002. There were three marking patterns of the muntjacs, marking with facial glands (including the frontal gland and the pre-orbital gland), urination, and defecation. The frequency of marking with facial glands by males was significantly higher than that of the females (P<0.01). The males marked mainly by facial gland (74.27%) while the females mainly by urination (44.30%) and defecation (48.10%). When muntjac came into rutting season, the frequency of marking became significantly higher in males than in females (P<0.05). So scent marking behavior can be thought an indication for rutting.更多还原
