Abstract
Abstract Morphoecological Peculiarities of Pelvis in Several Genera of Rails with Some Notes on Systematic Position of the Coot, Fulica atra (Rallidae, Gruiformes). Bogdanovich, I. A. - Some features of pelvic and hindlimb morphology of several ecologically different species of rallids are studied. Adaptive significances of these features are revealed. A special attention is paid to the hindlimb skeleton of the Coot (Fulica atra, Linnaeus, 1758), which retained the locomotor universalism despite adaptations to swimming and diving.
