摘　　要：综述了全球现存 7种穿山甲生态学研究概况 ,目前的研究主要是通过访问法对中国穿山甲(Manispentadactyla)的栖息地、活动习性、食性、繁殖习性、打洞习性进行一般性的描述。开普穿山甲 (M .temminckii)主要集中在家域、活动和运动、食谱和觅食行为生态上 ,繁殖生态学、种群生态学及栖息地的研究没有涉及。树穿山甲 (M .tricuspis)仅见其家域研究的报道。其它 4种穿山甲生态学研究未见任何报道。 7种穿山甲的习性相似。今后应当强调从生命的各个层次对其生态学进行比较研究 ,以揭示其存在的生态差异。重点应是洞穴生态、觅食生态、行为生态 (如家域与活动 )。This paper summarized the current situation of ecology studies on 7 living species of pangolins in the world, indicating very few studies done. The habitat of Chinese pangolin (Manis pentadactyla) and its habits of activity, foraging, breeding and burrowing were described in general only depending on data from interviewing hunters, and few monographic studies were carried out. The ecology studies in Cape pangolin (M.temminckii) were mainly focused on its home range, activity, mobility, diet and foraging behavior, and these studies were intensive. However, the studies on Cap pangolin's breeding ecology, population ecology and habitat are still not involved. The known tree pangolin's ecology study was only on its home range. There is no report on ecology study of the other 4 species. The 7 species are similar in habits, to reveal their difference in ecology, in future it should be stressed to make comparing study to their ecology on the different organism level. The focal point of the study should be placed on burrowing ecology, foraging ecology, behavior ecology (such as home range and activity), breeding ecology and population ecology.
