摘要:

近年来,随着亚洲象种群由自然保护区内部向外不断迁移扩散,导致人‑象冲突越来越严重,云南西双版纳野生动物主管部门采取主动干预措施,建立了专门的临时管控区,对部分肇事雄性亚洲象进行控制性保护,以期通过对管控区内肇事亚洲象的行为矫正,达到重新放归自然的目的。2024年的2—4月,采用无人机、DV录像机以及单反相机等设备对管控区内7头雄性肇事亚洲象的行为谱和PAE编码系统进行研究,共分辨和记录了亚洲象的9种姿势、59种动作、11种环境类型,共计十大类43种行为,建立了亚洲象的行为谱及PAE编码系统。本研究发现投喂、采食和休息行为具有极显著的差异,呈现明显的日行为节律变化。亚洲象成体的整体绝对行为多样性指数和相对多样性指数均高于亚成体。气温对亚成体大多数行为占比影响较大。本研究结果为肇事亚洲象未来放归自然环境与行为生态学研究和保护管理提供了科学依据。

Abstract:

In recent years, as the Asian elephant population has continuously migrated and expanded from within nature reserves, human‑elephant conflicts have become increasingly severe. The wildlife authorities in Xishuangbanna, Yunnan Province, have taken proactive intervention measures by establishing dedicated temporary control zones to protect some male Asian elephants that have caused incidents. The aim is to correct the behavior of these elephants in the control zones and eventually release them back into the wild. From February to April 2024, the author used drones, DV video recorders, and single‑lens reflex cameras to document the behavior spectrum and PAE coding system of seven male Asian elephants causing incidents in the control zone. This study identified and recorded a total of 9 postures, 59 actions, 11 environmental types, and 43 behaviors in 10 major categories for the seven male Asian elephants. A behavior spectrum and PAE coding system for these elephants were established. The study found that feeding, foraging, and resting behaviors showed highly significant differences and presented obvious diurnal behavioral rhythms. The overall absolute and relative behavioral diversity indices of adult male Asian elephants were higher than those of sub‑adults. Temperature had a significant impact on the proportion of most behaviors of sub‑adults. The results of this study provide a scientific basis for future research on the release of Asian elephants causing incidents into the natural environment and their behavioral ecology and protection management.
