摘要

了解沙漠象龟的洞穴使用和移动模式,以及它们如何受到社会互动的影响,对于了解这种濒危物种的栖息地使用至关重要。我研究了沙漠陆龟使用洞穴的性别差异和季节变化。二十八只自由放养的陆龟装有无线电发射机,并于1992年6月至10月定期定位。记录了无线电标记陆龟的位置和行为,并标记了占用的庇护所。地穴利用和共占有的模式在两性之间存在差异,并与生殖周期相对应。大多数观察结果是乌龟单独居住在避难所。在6月的筑巢季节,雌龟比雄龟更频繁地在避难所之间移动。在8月和9月的交配季节,雄性比雌性更频繁地更换庇护所,并且经常观察到雄性和雌性共同居住。考虑洞穴使用模式和相关的社会行为可以改善人口密度估计,搬迁管理的成功,以及对上呼吸道疾病流行病学的理解。

Patterns of Burrow Use by Desert Tortoises: Gender Differences and Seasonal Trends
Knowledge of burrow use and movement patterns, and how they are influenced by social interactions in desert tortoises, is critical to understanding habitat use in this threatened species. I examined sex differences and seasonal variation in burrow use by desert tortoises. Twentyeight free-ranging tortoises were fitted with radio transmitters and were regularly located from June-October 1992. Location and behavior of radio-tagged tortoises were recorded and occupied shelters were marked. Patterns of burrow use and co-occupancy differed between the sexes and corresponded to the reproductive cycle. Most observations were of tortoises inhabiting shelters singly. During the nesting season in June, female tortoises moved among shelters more than did males. During the mating season in August and September, males changed shelters more frequently than did females, and male-female co-occupancy was commonly observed. Consideration of burrow use patterns and associated social behavior may improve population density estimates, success of relocation management, and understanding of the epidemiology of upper respiratory tract disease.
