    摘要:

    2009年9~12月以4只大猩猩(Gorilla gorilla)为研究对象,应用瞬时扫描取样法观察记录其活动行为,建立不同取样间隔与数据准确性和数据独立性的线性回归方程,计算变量系数和常数项的95%置信区间,进而确定瞬时扫描法的最适取样间隔。研究结果表明,大猩猩活动主要集中于上午10:00~11:00时和下午14:00~15:00时(χ2=19.110,df=4,P=0.001),不同大猩猩个体间活动行为存在显著差异(Kruskal Wallis Test,χ2=11.229,df=3,P=0.011)。随着取样间隔的增大,间隔取样与连续取样数据的相关系数呈下降趋势,满足数据准确性需求的最适取样间隔为3~13 min,随取样间隔的增大,数据独立可能性逐渐升高,其中满足数据独立性需求的最适取样间隔为2~8 min。综合考虑以上两种因素,确定针对大猩猩活动行为的瞬时扫描取样的最适间隔为3~8 min。

    Abstract:

    Through instantaneous sample method,we observed 4 Gorilla(Gorilla gorilla) individuals in Shanghai Zoo from September to December 2009 to determine appropriate sampling interval to separate two consecutive observation.The focus animals were active during 10: 00-11: 00 and 14: 00-15: 00,and significant difference in active frequency between individuals was detected.The appropriate sample interval is 3-13 min.Data accuracy would be reduced and data independence would be increase when increase sampling interval.The appropriate sample interval supposed by this study is 2-8 min.Here,a compromised sample interval of 3-8 min is considered.
