苏格兰北部和西部沿海地区的鸟骨组合非常多样化。在这里，来自15个地点的25个组合的鸟骨进行了比较。许多鸟类被捕获作为食物，但也有多达50个偶然的物种，其中一些只有一两块骨头。虽然这些鸟的主要来源是海鸟，但也有一些是作为捕鱼的副渔获物获得的，还有一些是偶然收集的。有些可能是偶然与海藻一起收集的。许多是非人为的，从猛禽丢弃和鸟类颗粒，但也可能从其他掠食者。鸟类骨骼的这些不同起源对于解释以前的鸟类分布具有重要意义。版权所有© 2014约翰威利父子有限公司.
Bird bone assemblages from coastal sites in the north and west of Scotland are very diverse. Here, bird bones from 25 assemblages from 15 sites are compared. Many birds were caught for food, but there are also up to 50 incidental species, some of which are represented by one or two bones only. While the principal origin of the birds is seabird fowling, some were also obtained as a bycatch of fishing and others were collected casually. Some may have been collected accidentally with seaweed. Many are non-anthropogenic, from raptor discards and bird pellets, but possibly also from other predators. These diverse origins of the bird bones have important implications for interpreting former avian distributions. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
