morphological and morphometric approach to the bones of the wings in the long-legged buzzard (Buteo Rufinus)

Bu çalışmada iki kızıl şahin (Buteo rufinus)'in kanat kemikleri masere edilerek, morfolojik ve morfometrik açıdan incelendi.Humerus'un distal ucunda tuberculum supracondyjare ve trochlea humeri üzerinde, onlardan daha küçük bir distal kondil tespit edildi. Çok güçlü uçucular sınıfında olmasına rağmen, kızıl şahinlerde ulna'nın ventral remigeal papilleri'nin iyi gelişmemiş olması dikkat çekici idi. Skeleton mahus'un anatomik yapısı da diğer genel kuş türleri ile çok benzerdi.Bu araştırmayla kızıl şahin kemiklerinden, elde edilen bulgularla, farklı kuş türlerinden ayırt edilmesi amaçlandı.

Kızıl şahin kanat kemiklerine morfolojik ve morfometrik yaklaşım

In this study it was investigated the morphometric and morphological features öf the bones of the wings in two long-legged buzzards by maceration. The findings on the humerus complied well with the literature reports except the smaller dorsal condyle on the humeral trochlea and ventral supracondylar tubercle at the distal end of the humerus. The ventral remigal papillae on the ulna.were hardly observablş and, well less developed even though the long-legged buzzard is in the class of very strong-flyers. The features of the bones of the manus skeleton were also similar with the general pattern of avian anatomy. . This study aimed to identify the data using these bones in order to separete different bird species.
