摘　　要：大量研究表明尿液在动物的嗅觉通讯中具有重要作用,血液是尿液的根本来源,但对其嗅觉通讯功能的研究较少。因此以雌性根田鼠Microtus oeconomus为研究对象,在行为选择箱中观察其对4种气味源的行为响应模式以判断能否识别不同血液气味。气味源分别为雌性根田鼠血液、雄性根田鼠血液、雄性Wistar大鼠血液和蒸馏水对照。结果表明:雌性根田鼠能够识别血液气味,且通过血液气味进行种间识别,但不能进行性别识别。A large number of studies demonstrated that urine played an important role in the olfactory communication. Blood is the origin of urine, but the research about olfactory communication of blood is infrequent. So the author took female root voles as subject and investigated whether the females could recognize the different odors of blood. The female root voles＇ behavioral patterns to four kinds of odorants were observed in a behavioral choice maze. The odorants were female root voles＇ blood, male root voles＇ blood, Wistar male rats＇ blood and distilled water control. The results indicate that root vole can recognize blood odor, and discriminate the inter-species blood odor, but can not discriminate the blood odor of different gender.
