中文摘要：

红耳龟Trachemys scripta elegans是一种入侵到全世界六大洲70多个国家和地区的半水栖杂食性爬行动物,现已广泛分布于我国野外环境。在国外,由于红耳龟潜在的生态危害和对人类健康的影响而受到特别关注,但在我国的重视程度却不够。本文从活动节律、取食行为、晒背行为、迁移行为与恋巢性、通讯行为、攻击行为、求偶与交配行为、筑巢行为等8个方面综述了红耳龟行为生态学的研究成果。期望有助于红耳龟在入侵地的科学研究、防治与管理。

英文摘要：

The red-eared slider Trachemys scripta elegans, a semi-aquatic omnivorous reptile, invades more than 70 coun- tries and regions across six continents, and has been widely distributed in the wild of China. The worldwide ecological resear- ches are especially focused on red-eared slider due to their potential threat on ecology and human health. In this review, the a- chievements of behavioral ecological studies on activity rhythm, foraging behavior, basking behavior, migratory behavior and nest fidelity, communication behavior, aggressive behavior, courtship and mating behavior, nesting behavior were summa- rized, which may contribute to the scientific research, prevention and management of red-eared slider in invasive ranges.
