Anatomic and morphometric skeleton characteristics of Grey Heron, Ardea cinerea (Linaeus, 1758)

V diplomskem delu je podrobneje predstavljen skelet sive čaplje. V morfometrični del rezultatov sta vključena dva skeleta sive čaplje. Skelet je predstavljen slikovno in zajema posamezne kosti v različnih legah, dodane pa so tudi meritve teh kosti. Slikovno gradivo je opremljeno z ustrezno terminologijo v latinskem jeziku in opisuje anatomske in morfološke značilnosti posameznih kosti. Poleg latinskih terminov so dodani pripadajoči angleški ter slovenski termini. Med proučevanjem literature z ustrezno terminologijo za področje ptic, sem ugotovila, da je takšna literatura zelo slabo dostopna, malo številčna in pomanjkljiva. Še posebej to velja za literaturo v slovenskem jeziku.In this graduation thesis we have thoroughly presented the skeleton of Grey Heron. We included two Grey Heron skeletons in the morphometric part of the results. The skeleton is depicted and it gathers individual bones in different postures, the measurements of these bones are also included. The illustration material is equipt with proper terminology in Latin and it describes anatomical and morphological characteristics of individual bones. Besides Latin terminology the graduation thesis also displays English and Slovene adequate words. While investigating bird terminology literature I have come to the conclusion that this kind of literature is poorly accessible, low in number and insufficient. The later is especially true for Slovene literature of this kind
