摘　　要：描述了一种微型可程控的磁场发生与行为记录装置以及数据处理与分析软件。该装置由装在鸟类背上的背载终端和戴在鸟类头上的微型线圈两部分构成。背载终端由微GPS、存储卡和控制单元组合而成,能记录鸟类的飞行路径,并可根据程序设置在设定时间和地点通过鸟类头部的线圈产生设定强度的磁场,干扰鸟类感觉地磁信息。数据处理与分析软件可显示鸟类飞行轨迹,并可比较分析自然状态和干扰状态下鸟类归巢行为。现场实验结果表明该系统为研究信鸽归巢导航行为提供了一种有效的实验研究工具。This paper presents a miniature system,a bio-logging device integrated with a magnetic field generator,for freely flying birds and its software for the analysis and visualization of the log data.The system consists of a backpack mounted on the back of the bird and a pair of coils equipped on the bird：one adhered to the top of the head and the other around the neck.The backpack composed of a micro-GPS,a TF card and a control unit,permits to record the routes of avian flight and to generate a specific magnetic field through Helmholtz coils at specific site or at specific time.The software functions include the analysis and visualization of the log data,and the comparison of the routes of the avian flight under different settings with or without artificial magnetic fields.Finally,the results of avian navigation experiments conducted across the Chaochow Gulf show that the proposed system is an effective and promising tool for investigating avian and other animal’s magnetic navigation.
