Abstract

Columbid remains are commonly recovered from Caribbean archaeological and paleontological sites. Identifying specimens to species level is therefore likely to yield a wealth of information concerning species diversity and changes in their distribution over time. Here we examine the metrical data and 42 osteological characters of eight skeletal elements of 80 specimens belonging to 12 species from five genera that represent most of the indigenous taxa of the West Indies. Our new data provide a reliable means for identifying these birds in the Caribbean fossil and subfossil record.
加勒比海柱状虫鉴定的骨学特征
哥伦布遗骸通常是从加勒比海考古和古生物遗址中发现的。因此,在物种水平上识别标本可能会产生关于物种多样性及其分布随时间变化的丰富信息。本文研究了代表西印度群岛大部分本土分类群的5属12种80个标本的8个骨骼元素的测量数据和42个骨学特征。我们的新数据为识别这些加勒比鸟类的化石和亚化石记录提供了可靠的手段。
