AI 中文总结
本文探讨自然行为的定义问题,指出行为通才无明确自然行为概念,提出应优先确定与特定行为相关的客观结果指标,而非自然性。
AI 中文摘要
什么是自然行为?本文提出,对自然行为的研究往往是对置于可量化差异环境中的动物自发行为的研究。对于啮齿动物、人类及其他许多物种这类行为通才而言,由于它们具备成功适应各类不同生态系统的能力与需求,不存在可明确定义的原生栖息地或自然行为这类构造。与其优先考虑自然性,更关键的是确定与特定行为相关的客观结果指标,即哪些行为序列和适应机制能让动物在一系列动态或危险的物理与社会环境中生存和繁殖。
英文摘要
What is a natural behavior? I argue that the study of natural behaviors is often the study of the spontaneous behaviors of animals placed in quantifiably different environments. For behavioral generalists such as rodents, humans, and many other species, there may be no such definable construct as a native habitat or natural behavior, due to their successful abilities and needs to rapidly adapt to a wide range of different ecosystems. Instead of prioritizing naturalness, it may be more essential to determine objective outcome measures related to specific behaviors; i.e., which sequences of behaviors and adaptive mechanisms allow animals to survive and reproduce, across a range of dynamic or hazardous physical and social environments.
