鸟类胸骨的解剖结构根据其运动，特别是飞行能力，以及物种和栖息地而有所不同。已经进行了各种旨在检查和测量鸟类胸骨的研究。然而，据作者所知，以前没有关于胸骨测量与运动方式之间相关性的研究。在这项研究中，包括红隼在内的某些鸟类的胸骨（Buteo rufinus），公鸡（原鸡），德雷克对鸭嘴兽（Anas platyrhynches）、秃颈朱鹭（Geronticus eremita）、鸽子（Columba livia）、白色鹳（Ciconia ciconia）、鹰鸮（Bubo bubo）、鹅（Anser anser）和火鸡（Meleagris gallopavo）作为3个不同的栖息地组（I-飞行、II-游泳和III-行走）进行了调查。数据分析显示，鸟类的运动风格和胸骨测量之间的相关性。在所检查的游泳鸟类中，胸骨的宽度（W）大于高度（H），W/H在1.56和1.95 mm之间。行走型的胸骨高大于宽，W/H在0.50 ~ 0.68mm之间，飞行型的胸骨宽高近似相等，W/H在0.50 ~ 0.68mm之间。H在0.96和1.35 mm之间。
The anatomy of the sternum in avian species differs according to their movement and particularly flight capability, as well as species and habitat. Various studies aimed at the examination and measurement of the sternum in avian species have been carried out. However, to the authors' knowledge, no study on the correlation between sternal measurements and movement style has been published previously. In this study, the sternums of certain avian species including the red falcon (Buteo rufinus), rooster (Gallus domesticus), drake (Anas platyrhynches), bald ibis (Geronticus eremita), pigeon (Columba livia), white stork (Ciconia ciconia), eagle owl (Bubo bubo), goose (Anser anser) and turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) were investigated as 3 different habitant groups (I-flying, II- swimming and III- walking). Data analysis revealed a correlation between movement style and sternum measurements in avian species. In the swimming birds that were examined, the width (W) of the sternums was greater than the height (H), and W/H ranged between 1.56 and 1.95 mm. In contrast, the height of the sternum was greater than the width in walking birds and W/H was between 0.50 and 0.68 mm. In the flying birds the width and height of the sternum were approximately equal and W/H ranged between 0.96 and 1.35 mm.
