osteologically การใช้
- Craniometric analysis also indicates that they were osteologically distinct.
- Although some authors lump " Belonopterus " with " Vanellus ", osteologically they are sufficiently distinct to maintain as separate genera.
- The four fish owls were previously generally separated in the genus " Ketupa " . mtDNA Bubo " ) which they also resemble osteologically very much for sake of convenience.
- A distal tarsometatarsus found in a rock shelter on R閡nion was probably of a bird taken there as food by early settlers; no known account mentions the presence of storks on the Mascarenes, and while this subfossil was initially believed to be from a stork, it is today assigned to the R閡nion ibis ( " Threskiornis solitarius " ) which is quite similar to storks osteologically and was not yet described when the bone was discovered ( Cowles, 1994 ).
