Abstract

ABSTRACT Among several manuscripts left behind by Swedish naturalist Peter Artedi following his untimely death in 1735 is an unfinished effort to classify the mammals, or the ‘hairy animals’, as Artedi called them. Titled ‘Idea institutionum Trichozoologiae’ (‘An outline of the principles of the science of hairy animals’), it presents a four-tier hierarchy composed of orders, sections (‘sectio’), genera and species, that foretells the work of Carl Linnaeus. An analysis of the impact that Artedi’s account might have had on Linnaeus’s treatment of the mammals in the various editions of his Systema naturae is presented. Results show that both authors owed much to the earlier work of English naturalist John Ray, with precedent going back to Aristotle.

Peter Artedi的《毛虫学理》和哺乳动物的分类

摘要瑞典博物学家彼得·阿尔特迪在1735年英年早逝后留下的几份手稿中，有一份是未完成的对哺乳动物或阿尔特迪所称的“长毛动物”的分类工作。该书名为“毛动物学思想体系”（“毛动物科学原理纲要”），提出了一个由目、节（“节”）、属和种组成的四层层次结构，预示了卡尔·林奈的工作。分析了Artedi的叙述可能对林奈在其《自然系统》的各个版本中对待哺乳动物的方式产生的影响。结果表明，两位作者都在很大程度上归功于英国博物学家约翰·雷的早期工作，先例可以追溯到亚里士多德。

期刊介绍： Journal of Natural History is an international zoological journal publishing original research and reviews in evolutionary biology and ecology. It maintains its historical niche by publishing a broad range of systematics papers on all animal phyla from Porifera to Chordata, encompassing traditional taxonomic revisions and descriptions, cladistic analyses and molecular phylogenetics and phylogenomics. The journal has recognized strengths in entomology and marine invertebrates, but also welcomes papers on the natural history of all animal species and on the interactions of species with their environment. Preference is given to in-depth papers and extensive taxonomic reviews: single species descriptions and checklists are not normally considered. Authors wishing to suggest a review paper should contact the relevant editor.
