摘　　要：Migratory birds are known to use a number of different orientation cues to determine and maintain the direction of their movements. They are able to use at least three different sources of compass information, including solar, stellar and geomagnetic cues. However, little is known about how these cues are calibrated into uniform reference direction information, while the hierarchy of these cues remains controversial. In recent studies, researchers suggest that avian migrants calibrate their geomagnetic compass on sunset cues, whereas others fail to find such patterns and insist on the prevalence of the magnetic compass. We carefully reviewed the existing literature and suggest that the conflicting results reported by different authors are due to genuine variation among species and propose hypotheses to explain this variation.候鸟可以运用多种定向线索来确定并保持其运动方向,目前已知它们可以使用至少3种罗盘线索,即太阳、恒星及地磁。这些外部线索之间存在怎样的层级关系仍有争议,而他们又是如何校准至一致的参照方向也所知甚少。近年的研究中,有些研究者认为候鸟用日落信息校准地磁罗盘,其他研究者则由于未能观察到这一现象而持否定意见。本文仔细评述了先前研究,认为天生的种间差异是造成各研究者意见不一致的原因,并对种间差异作了详解。
