PDFAbstract
Two hundred and fifty seven skulls belonging to 28 wader species from several osteological collections were analysed to elaborate an identification key based on the os quadratum. The presence / absence of foramen processi otici, presence / absence of foramen processi orbitale, number of processus orbitalis foramina, profile of the processus orbitalis and condylar formula has been used. This key identifies 75% of the species concerned at specific level.
