世界现代鸟类分类新系统介绍

An Introdution to the Classification of Living Birds of the World

本文简要介绍了美国学者查尔斯·西伯莱等人采用DNA-DNA分子杂交方法建立的世界现代鸟类新系统。这个系统较以形态学为主要特征建立的种系发生有较大的重新组合。这个系统的建立为进一步完善鸟类分类系统提供了分子生物学的证据。

The paper has introduced a classification of the living birds of the World based on the results of DNA-DNA hybridization studies.There are some differences between the DNA's phyolgeny and traditional avian classification in morphyological character.Reconstruction of the system provides the molecular biology evidence for further avian classification.
