Measuring device and method for frog predation and avoidance behavior energy distribution under natural enemy pressures

Abstract

The invention discloses a measuring device and method for frog predation and avoidance behavior energy distribution under natural enemy pressures. The device comprises a frog activity area; a naturalenemy activity area is placed at one corner of the frog activity area; the natural enemy activity area comprises a natural enemy breeding box; the natural enemy breeding box is placed at the corner ofthe frog activity area; a natural enemy sound player is mounted on the side wall of the natural enemy breeding box; a replaceable partition plate is installed on the side wall, facing the center in the frog activity area, of the natural enemy breeding box; a fruit fly breeding box is mounted below the frog activity area; fruit flies are conveyed to the frog activity area and the position above the natural enemy breeding box through a first fruit fly channel and a second fruit fly channel from the side wall of the fruit fly breeding box; and a crawling ladder for frogs to climb to the positionabove the natural enemy breeding box is mounted in the frog activity area. According to the measuring device, by replacing different partition plates and additionally arranging the natural enemy sound player, measuring of frog predation and avoidance behavior energy distribution under one or more combined natural enemy pressures is achieved, the structure is simple, operation is convenient, and the testing accuracy is high.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of frog predation and avoidance behavior testing, in particular to a device and method for measuring the energy distribution of frog predation and avoidance behavior under the pressure of natural enemies. Background technique [0002] When animals are under environmental stress, they will rationally allocate the energy of various behaviors in order to survive better. Frogs can hunt food through predation behavior and avoid prey through avoidance behavior. At present, there is a lack of devices and methods for measuring the energy distribution of frog predation behavior and avoidance behavior under the pressure of natural enemies. [0003] The pressure of natural enemies is mainly reflected in three aspects: sight pressure (you can see individual natural enemies), sound pressure (you can hear the calls of natural enemies), and odor pressure (you can smell the smell of natural enemies). [0004] The comparat...
