摘要

尽管人们越来越认识到传统知识在科学中的重要性,但这些观点在研究出版物中的代表性仍然不足。然而,将这些方法综合起来,对于提高我们对野生动物和生态系统的认识有着巨大的潜力。为了实现这一目标,我们将当地传统知识与分子分类技术相结合,研究了刚果共和国两个地区(古阿卢戈三角区和杰凯三角区)西部低地大猩猩的 "抓土 "行为。我们对四个大猩猩群体进行了近十年的日常观察,结果发现,抓土是一种觅食策略,目的是获取一种鹿松露物种,在这里被鉴定为Elaphomyces labyrinthinus。我们还进行了群体扫描,以计算大猩猩觅食鹿松露所花费的时间,并通过视频焦点观察来评估觅食效率。不同群体之间的土壤搔痒差异很大。布卡(Buka)组最常见,其次是金戈(Kingo)组和梅泰特雷(Mététélé)组。在洛亚-马卡萨组很少观察到松露觅食现象。虽然鹿松露的整体分布似乎决定了这一行为在不同种群中的发生率,但我们也发现了种群内部社会因素对土壤搔痒影响的迹象。例如,一只成年雌鹿从一个很少发生这种行为的群落转移到另一个常见的群落,并根据新群落的情况调整其抓挠土壤的频率。最后,这些发现被纳入了杰凯三角洲生态影响评估,促使保护管理者转移与旅游相关的建设地点,以保护这种假定的文化行为。

Long-term observations in the Ndoki forest resolve enduring questions about truffle foraging by western lowland gorillas.

While there is growing recognition of the importance of traditional knowledge in science, these perspectives remain underrepresented in research publications. However, the synthesis of these approaches has tremendous potential to improve our understanding of wildlife and ecosystems. Toward realizing this aim, we combined local traditional knowledge with molecular classification techniques to investigate "soil scratching" behavior in western lowland gorillas in two localities in Republic of Congo, the Goualougo Triangle and the Djéké Triangle. Daily observations of four gorilla groups for nearly a decade revealed that soil scratching is a foraging strategy to access a deer truffle species, identified here as Elaphomyces labyrinthinus. We also conducted group scans to calculate the time gorillas spent foraging for deer truffles and video focal observations to assess foraging efficiency. There was considerable variation in soil scratching across groups. It was most common in Buka's group, followed by Kingo's group and Mététélé's group. Truffle foraging was rarely observed in the Loya-Makassa group. While the overall distribution of deer truffles seemingly determines the occurrence of this behavior across populations, we found indications of social influences on soil scratching within populations. For example, an adult female transferred from a group in which the behavior was rare to another group where it is common and adjusted her frequencies of soil scratching to that of her new group. Finally, these findings were included in an ecological impact assessment of the Djéké Triangle that prompted conservation managers to shift the location of tourism-associated construction to safeguard this putative cultural behavior.

期刊介绍: Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
