研究人员越来越多地利用博物馆藏品进行分类学、系统学、系统发育学和动物区系分析,并且他们认为博物馆标签上的分类鉴定是正确的。然而,鉴定可能不正确或过时,这可能导致后续研究得出错误的结论。 Machado 和 Teta (2020) 最近对非洲犬科动物头骨进行的几何形态测量分析表明,Canis lupaster soudanicus 是 Lupulella adusta 的初级同义词。然而,没有测量 soudanicus 的正模,对本研究中使用的假定 soudanicus 标本的进一步调查表明,这些标本最初被鉴定为 L.阿达斯塔。这一最初的鉴定得到了牙科测量的证实,这也证实了 soudanicusis Canis lupaster 的正模标本。因此,soudanicus 不应与 L 同义词。阿达斯塔。这个例子强调了在研究之前仔细检查博物馆标本的物种鉴定的重要性,并在可能的情况下,在进行可能对物种保护和管理产生重要影响的分类学改变之前,包括分类群的(全)类型。
Researchers are increasingly using museum collections for taxonomy, systematics, phylogenetics, and faunal analyses, and they assume that taxonomic identifications on museum labels are correct. However, identifications may be incorrect or out of date, which could result in false conclusions from subsequent research. A recent geometric morphometrics analysis of skulls of African canids by Machado and Teta (2020) suggested thatCanis lupaster soudanicusis a junior synonym ofLupulella adusta. However, the holotype ofsoudanicuswas not measured and further investigation of the putativesoudanicusspecimens used in this study showed that these originally were identified asL. adusta. This original identification was confirmed by dental measurements, which also confirm that the holotype ofsoudanicusisCanis lupaster. Hence,soudanicusshould not be synonymized withL. adusta. This example highlights the importance of careful checking of species identifications of museum specimens prior to research and, where possible, including (holo)types of taxa, before making taxonomic changes that could have important consequences for species conservation and management.
