摘要

蛇作为实验对象具有独特的资格,在行为研究中对这些动物的使用逐渐增加。它们一直是先天猎物偏好比较研究和生殖行为中涉及的感觉信号研究的模型。来自这些研究的例子表明,在设计蛇的实验时,记住统计方法和特定物种的自然行为的重要性。随机设计是最强大的,但需要更大的样本量,因此重复或阻塞设计更常用于蛇的研究。复制如何影响得出的推论很少被讨论。大多数作者也没有评估可能增加蛇行为变化的因素的作用,即温度、压力、喂养条件、脱落周期、个体主体的总体健康和气质。未来对蛇的研究将增加对这一有趣群体的行为生态学的理解,但在实验设计中更加小心将是重要的。

EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN IN STUDIES OF SNAKE BEHAVIOR
Snakes have unique qualifications as experimental subjects, and the use of these animals in behavioral research has gradually increased. They have been models for comparative studies of innate prey preferences and for studies on sensory signals involved in reproductive behavior. Examples from these studies indicate the importance of keeping in mind both statistical methods and the natural behavior of the particular species when designing experiments on snakes. Randomized designs are the most powerful but require larger sample sizes, and so repeated or blocked designs have more often been used in snake studies. How replication affects the inferences drawn is rarely discussed. Nor have most authors evaluated the role of factors that may increase variation in the behavior of snakes, i.e., temperature, stress, feeding condition, shedding cycle, and general health and temperament of the individual subject. Future research on snakes will supply increased understanding of the behavioral ecology of this interesting group, but more care in the design of experiments will be important.
