tarsometatarsus n.【動物;動物學】跗蹠骨。

tarsus

There were distinct differences between ecological habit and the pattern of adaptation of birds of the different species , moreover , the diversity of shape and structure of corresponding tarsometatarsus had differentiated , so the choice of adaptability of avian tarsometatarsus and its corresponding functional behavior had come into being 不同類型鳥類之間的生態習性和適應形式相互間存在明顯的差異,而與之相對應的跗跖骨的形態結構也產生了多樣性分異,形成了鳥類跗跖骨形態結構與對應功能行為的適應性選擇。

Based on the analyses of the diversity of shape and structure of tarsometatarsus of living birds and its corresponding function , we can study the shape and habit of birds in the early stages , at the same time can discuss the evolutive law of functional behavior of birds in the different periods of the geologic history further too 特別是通過對現生鳥類跗跖骨形態結構多樣性與對應功能的分析,可以此作為研究早期鳥類形態習性的參考依據,同時也可進一步探討不同地質歷史時期鳥類功能行為的演化規律。

Research on the diversity of shape and structure of avian tarsometatarsus , not only did it present evidences to realize the ecological habit of birds of different species , but made the knowledge of functional behavior of avian hindlimbs perfect progressively also 鳥類跗跖骨形態結構多樣性的研究不僅為了解不同類型鳥類的生態習性提供證據,也使鳥類后肢骨骼的功能行為學得以逐步完善。

The avian tarsometatarsus distinguished from the tarsus and metatarsus of other quadruped by its unique characteristic of structure 摘要鳥類的跗跖骨以其獨特的結構特征與其他四足動物跗骨、跗骨相區別。
