Топоздордун (Bos grunniens) жүрүш-туруш актыларын изилдөөлөргө системалык сереп

Abstract

Максаты: Заманбап адабият булактарындагы топоздордун жүрүш-туруш актылары тууралуу илимий маалыматтарга баа берүү. Бул сереп, топоздордун жүрүш-туруш актыларын изилдөөчүлөр үчүн жаңы изилдөө багыттарын аныктоого мүмкүнчүлүк түзүү максатын дагы көздөйт. Материал жана ыкмалары: Макаланын темасы боюнча изилдөөлөрдүн деңгээлин тактоо жана бул багыттагы илимий көйгөй боюнча адабий булактарга сереп жүргүзүү максатында төмөндөгү иликтөө платформаларында, маалымат базаларында жана интернет ресурстарында иликтөөлөр жүргүзүлдү: Web of Science, Scopus, Google, eLIBRARY.RU, RSCI, Pubmed и Kyrlibnet. Сереп жүргүзүүдө Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses колдонмосу пайдаланылды. Бул изилдөөдөгү маалыматтарды талдоодо сыпаттоо жана мазмунду талдоо ыкмалары колдонулду. Жыйынтык: Изилдөөлөрдө топоздордун таксономиялык статусу, топоздорду асыроо багыттары, топоздорду асыроо ареалы, топоздордун дүйнөдөгү саны, топоздордун тукумдары, топоздордун жергиликтүү аталыштары жана өңү-түсү, топоздордун жайыттагы жүрүш-туруш актылары жана жайыт пайдалануусу, жүрүш-туруш актыларына мониторинг жүргүзүү, топоздордун жеке өзгөчөлүктөрү жана эгоцентристик жүрүш-туруш актылары, топоздордун социалдык жүрүш-туруш актылары, топоздордун жыныстык жана ата-энелик жүрүш-туруш актылары тууралуу маалыматтар анализге алынып, Кыргыз Республикасынын бийик тоолуу жайыттарын натыйжалуу колдонуу үчүн топоздорду жүрүш-туруш актыларын изилдөөнүн маанилүүлүгү аныкталды..

A systematic review of research on the behavioral acts of yaks (Bos grunniens)

Abstract

Aim: To assess the scientific data on the behavioral actions of yaks in modern literary sources. This review also aims to provide an opportunity for researchers of the behavioral actions of yaks to identify new research directions. Material and methods: To clarify the level of research on the topic of the article and to conduct a review of literary sources on the scientific problem in this area, a search was performed on the following research platforms, databases and Internet resources: Web of Science, Scopus, Google, eLIBRARY.RU, RSCI, Pubmed and Kyrlibnet. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses application was used in the review. Descriptive and content analysis methods were used in the data analysis of this study. Results: The research analyzed data on the taxonomic status of yaks, yaks' breeding areas, yaks' breeding range, the number of yaks in the world, yaks' breeds, local names and colors of yaks, yaks' behavioral acts on pastures and pasture use, monitoring of behavioral acts, yaks' individual characteristics and egocentric behavioral acts, yaks' social behavioral acts, yaks' sexual and parental behavioral acts, and determined the importance of studying yaks' behavioral acts for the effective use of high-altitude pastures of the Kyrgyz Republic.
