摘要尽管斑胸草雀（Taeniopygia guttata）被用作行为科学中的模式物种，但其社会群体的大小和组成并没有得到很好的描述。我们观察了组的大小和组成的自由放养的斑胸草雀在两个短暂的非繁殖期附近的半永久性水源在澳大利亚干旱区。我们在2011年底在两个人工水坝进行了15次观测，并在2012年4月进行了5次样带观测。我们发现，个体最常见的觅食，浇水和在两个群体中在殖民地周围旅行，其中绝大多数（94.2%）是混合性别，这很可能反映了性伙伴关系，或者在3-10个个体的较大群体中，很少观察到比这更大的群体。这些观察结果表明，即使在积极繁殖之外的时期，配对债券也具有核心重要性。我们也很少看到单一性别的群体，与他们经常被圈养的方式形成鲜明对比。我们的研究结果表明，研究人员对圈养斑胸草雀工作应该尝试保持个人成对或小的社会群体，以最好地模仿他们在野外通常经历的社会环境。
Abstract Despite the zebra finch (Taeniopygia guttata) being used as a model species in behavioural science, the size and composition of social groups in which individuals typically live in the wild when they are not breeding is not well described. We observed the group size and composition of free-ranging zebra finches during two brief non-breeding periods near semipermanent water sources in the arid zone of Australia. We conducted 15 observation sessions at two artificial dams during late 2011, and five transects in April 2012. We found that individuals most commonly foraged, watered and travelled around the colonies in groups of two, the overwhelming majority of which (94.2%) were mixed-sex, which most likely reflected sexual partnerships, or in larger groups of 3–10 individuals, with few observations of groups larger than this observed. These observations indicate the central importance of the pair bond, even during periods outside of active breeding. We also saw very few single-sex groups, in contrast to the way in which they are often housed in captivity. Our results suggest that researchers working on captive zebra finches should attempt to keep individuals in pairs or small social groups to best emulate the social environment they generally experience in the wild.
