| animal behaviour Behaviour of animals in their normal environment, including all the processes, both internal and external, by which they respond to changes in their environment | 动物行为 (正常环境下动物的行为，包括动物对环境改变所产生的内在和外在反应。) |
| animal biology The scientific study of the natural processes of animals | 动物生物学 (研究动物的自然过程的科学) |
| animal conservatory Areas for the conservation of rare or endangered animal species | 动物保护区 (保护稀有或濒临灭绝的动物物种的区域) |
| animal corridor Line corridors (roads, paths, and hedgerows) which lack interior habitat but may serve as movement groups for organisms. Corridors may also provide an efficient migratory pathway for animals. The presence or absence of breaks in a corridor may be a very important factor in determining the effectiveness of its conduit and barrier functions | 动物廊道 (没有内部栖息地但是可以为生物体提供族群移动的线状廊道(如公路、小径和灌木篱墙的)。廊道还可为动物提供有效的迁徙途经。廊道有无中断是决定其通道的有效性和阻碍作用的重要因素。) |
| animal damage Harm caused to the environment by animals as, for instance, in the case of overgrazing, trampling, etc. Overgrazing damage is reduced by properly located watering facilities to decrease daily travel by livestock. Rotation of grazing areas allows time for recovery of grass. Some land can be easily restored if grazing is allowed only during one season. Animals may cause damage to crops when agriculture land borders on virgin territory or game reserves. In addition wild animals may bring disease in valuable domestic herds. Cattle overstocking has caused serious degradation of habitat, and cattle raising is thus, to some extent, counterproductive | 动物伤害 (动物对环境造成的危害，例如由过度的放牧、践踏等。过度放牧的危害可通过适当的放置供水区以减少家畜每日的行经路线的方法加以降低。放牧区轮流开放可以让草有恢复的机会。某些土地只允许放牧一季的时间，这些土地则较容易恢复。当农地的边缘位于未开发区域或在保护区中，则可能对作物造成危害。除此之外，野生动物可能会为有价值的家畜带来疾病。牛只过多已经造成严重的栖地危害，因此，对牛只饲养的产量也会有造成一定程度的不良影响。) |
| animal disease | 动物疾病 |
| animal displacement The habit of many animal species of moving inside their habitats or of travelling, during migrations, to different biotopes, often considerable distances apart; in aquatic environments displacements can occur horizontally or vertically while in terrestrial environments animal populations that breed in the alpine or subalpine zones in summer, move to lower levels in winter; animal displacements usually follow circadian rhythms and are related to the necessity of finding breeding, resting and feeding areas | 动物位移 (许多动物有迁入其栖息地或经过长途旅行迁移到别的生态环境中的习性。在水生环境中的动物位移通常是水平或垂直方向上的；而在陆生环境中，夏季在高山带或亚高山带繁殖的动物群体会在冬季迁移到较低的地方；动物位移通常遵循其生理周期，同时也与它们是否有必要寻找繁殖、休眠和捕食地有关。) |
