皇家学会出版的埃克塞特大学Neeltje Bogeert的一项新研究发现,不连贯和不可预测的威慑手段,如移动诱饵、突发声音或人的存在,比噪音装置或视觉稻草人等静态或重复性方法更能有效威慑海鸥。 A new study by Neeltje Boogert of the University of Exeter, published by the Royal Society, finds that inconsistent and unpredictable deterrents—such as moving decoys, sudden sounds, or human presence—are more effective at deterring gulls than static or repetitive methods like noise devices or visual scarecrows. Gulls迅速适应可预测的模式,降低持续刺激的长期效果。 Gulls quickly adapt to predictable patterns, reducing the long-term effectiveness of constant stimuli. 这项研究基于在英国的观察和实验,建议将一段时间以来的各种战术结合起来,以防止习惯化并减少城市和沿海地区的海鸥存在。 The research, based on observations and experiments in the U.K., suggests combining varied tactics over time to prevent habituation and reduce gull presence in urban and coastal areas. 研究结果提供了科学支持的战略,用以管理与海鸥有关的问题,同时又不损害鸟类。 The findings offer science-backed strategies for managing gull-related issues without harming the birds.
