“班布”在蒙古高原自然环境和牧业经济形态下的生态学意义——关于蜣螂的民族昆虫学研究之一

摘要

以蒙古族本土知识和笔者实践观察为依据,阐述了昆虫＂班布＂（蜣螂）在蒙古高原自然生态和牧业经济形态下,所能够发挥的环境保护功能与生态链作用,即蜣螂洞的＂小水库＂功能与＂草物——（通过牛吃）——牛粪——（通过虫推）——肥料——（通过虫洞）——草物＂的生态链循环过程。%Based on the indigenous knowledge of the Mongolian and the author＇s observations,the present study is to make explanations of the role of an insect BANBU（Dung Beetle） as environmental features and ecological chains in the ecological and animal husbandry economic form of Mongolian Plateau,ie the holes of dung beetles as ＂small reservoirs＂ and the eco-chain loop of ＂grasses-（by cattle grazing）-cow dung-（by dung beetles＇ push）-fertilizer-（in dung beetle holes）-grasses.
