云南西双版纳半散放肇事雄性亚洲象行为特征OA

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 re-corders,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 en-vironmental 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 rela-tive 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.
