Standen thought that she would try raising bichirs on land.

Standen 认为她会尝试在陆地上饲养比奇鸟。

Standen's bichirs grew up in a decidedly damp but totally terrestrial environment.

Standen 的双颊鸟生长在一个绝对潮湿但完全是陆地的环境中。

She and her team set up some high-speed cameras, placed the bichirs on a stage and let them go.

她和她的团队设置了一些高速摄影机，将比奇鸟放在舞台上，然后让它们离开。

This suggests that bichirs have the ability to modify their behaviour in response to their environment, a concept called plasticity.

这表明双子星有能力根据环境改变自己的行为，这一概念称为可塑性。

When Standen examined the skeletons of her land-living bichirs, she found that their muscles and bones had changed as they adapted to walking.

当斯坦登检查她生活在陆地上的比奇鸟的骨骼时，她发现它们的肌肉和骨骼在适应行走时发生了变化。

They compared their walking abilities with those of bichirs raised more traditionally, you know, in water, and they saw some differences – subtle but distinct.

他们将它们的行走能力与传统上在水中饲养的比奇尔的行走能力进行了比较，他们发现了一些差异——细微但明显。
