鸨[註 1]是鸨科(学名:Otididae)鸟类的通称,也是鸨形目(Otidiformes)的唯一一科,是分布于东半球的大型长腿狩猎鸟类,经常出现在干燥而开阔的大草原。 目录 1 分类 2 习性 3 文化 4 分类 5 注释 6 参考文献 分类 在传统形态学的鸟类分类系统中,本科被归类于鹤形目,但随着遗传分子学的研究发展,已知本科与鸽类、杜鹃类等的关系更亲近,而鹤形目则与雀类关系更近。于是,分类学者将本科独立成立鸨形目。鸨形目的姐妹群是鹃形目(Cuculiformes),两者可与蕉鹃目(Musophagiformes)组成单系群鸨形总目(Otidimorphae),然后再与鸽形总目(Columbimorphae)组成鸽鸨类(Columbaves),成为新鸟类(Neoaves)的三个演化支之一。[1][2] 习性 鸨普遍上为杂食性鸟类,通常在地面上筑巢。 文化 《西游记》第六回中有:“……(大圣)又变做一只花鸨,木木樗樗的,立在蓼汀之上。二郎见他变得低贱,——花鸨乃鸟中至贱至淫之物,不拘鸾、凤、鹰、鸦都与交群——故此不去拢傍,即现原身,走将去,取过弹弓拽满,一弹子把他打个躘踵。” 鸨在中国古代象征淫贱,经营妓院的人被称作老鸨。 分类 鸨属 Otis 大鸨 Otis tarda 鹭鸨属 Ardeotis 阿拉伯鸨 Ardeotis arabs 灰颈鹭鸨 Ardeotis kori 黑冠鹭鸨 Ardeotis nigriceps 澳洲鸨 Ardeotis australis 波斑鸨属 Chlamydotis 翎颌鸨 Chlamydotis undulata 波斑鸨 Chlamydotis macqueenii 登氏鸨属 Neotis 鲁氏鸨 Neotis ludwigii 登氏鸨 Neotis denhami 亨氏鸨 Neotis heuglinii 努比亚鸨 Neotis nuba 蓝鸨属 Eupodotis 白腹鸨 Eupodotis senegalensis 蓝鸨 Eupodotis caerulescens 卡茹鸨 Eupodotis vigorsii 汝氏鸨 Eupodotis rueppellii 小褐鸨 Eupodotis humilis 冠鸨属 Lophotis 萨氏冠鸨 Lophotis savilei 软冠鸨 Lophotis gindiana 红冠鸨 Lophotis ruficrista 黑鸨属 Afrotis 黑鸨 Afrotis afra 白羽鸨 Afrotis afraoides 黑腹鸨属 Lissotis 黑腹鸨 Lissotis melanogaster 哈氏鸨 Lissotis hartlaubii 孟加拉鸨属 Houbaropsis 孟加拉鸨 Houbaropsis bengalensis 姬鸨属 Sypheotides 姬鸨
