Study On The Hair Morphology Of Nine Kinds Of Chinese Deer

Mostly bones, horns, tails used as a classification of animal morphology. Fur characteristics were counted as different basis, the characteristics of fur and hair were overlooked. Hair samples were selected from2families9species of Cervoideas mid-back uphair, which ten uphair were collected from each sampling.Those hair samples came from the the Beijing Milu Ecological Research Center and the Northeast Forestry University fur herbarium. Morphological indices of the hairs were measured, including hair length, fineness, medulla fineness, scale width, scale length; calculation of medulla exponent, scale length width ratio. the number of unit horizontal length scales (200μm), the number of hair thick transverse scales. Draw two equation of9morphological indexes for identify the9species of Cervoidea from discriminant analysis of the data. Results indicate:(1) Among the8species of Cervoidea’ uphair in the study(except barkingdeer), length ranges from37to65mm, fineness ranges from300μm to800μm. medullary fineness ranges from295μm to751μm, medullary index ranges from96.2%to97.5%, the number of hair thick transverse scales ranges from11to22. Barkingdeer’s uphair and other eight deers differ in hair length. fineness, medulla fineness, the number of hair thick transverse scales. Barkingdeer’s uphair length about26mm, fineness about155μm. medullary fineness about140μm, medullary index about92%, the number of hair thick transverse scales about5. Among the9species of Cervoidea’s uphair in the study, scale length ranges from9μm to31μm. scale width ranges from54μm to89μm. Scale length width ratio ranges from0.16to0.60, scale number of transverse unit length (200μm) index ranges from2.3to3.8. the9morphological indexes could have Cervoidea’s mid-back uphair morphology’s intuitive grasp and on the basis of apart from other orders for the basic data.(2) One-way ANOVA can be distinguished the9species of Cervoidea. Elk and other8species of Cervoidea could be distinguished through the number of unit horizontal length scales; River deer and other8species of Cervoidea could be distinguished through the scale width, the number of unit horizontal length scales; Red deer and other8species of Cervoidea could be distinguished through scale length and scale length width ratio:Sika deer and other8species of Cervoidea could be distinguished through the uphair fineness:Thorold’s deer and other8species of Cervoidea could be distinguished through uphair length, fineness, scale length scale length width ratio and the number of hair thick transverse scales:Roe deer and other8species of Cervoidea could be distinguished through scale length, scales length width ratio:Barking deer and other8species of Cervoidea could be distinguished through uphair length, fineness, the number hair thick transverse scales:Alping musk deer and other8species of Cervoidea could be distinguished through uphair fineness. scale width. the number of unit horizontal length scales and the number of hair thick transverse scales:Forest musk deer and other8species of Cervoidea could be distinguished through uphair fineness. scale length width ratio and the number of hair thick transverse scales.(3)Equation for probability reaches as high as74%, to a certain extent, the species of Cervoidea were distinguished. At the same time. have an intuitive understanding of the Deer Animal central back hair morphology. can be used to distinguish with other animal basis.
