vultures (general) (Aves (class), Vertebrata (subphylum), ... Living Organisms (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: General term referring to members of 22 species of large, carrion-eating birds that live predominantly in the tropics and subtropics of the New World and Old World. Although they superficially resemble each other, they are only distantly related, the similarities between Old World and New World groups due to convergent evolution. |

Chinese (traditional) ..... 22個大型、食腐肉鳥類物種的通稱,大多居住於在新世界與舊世界的熱帶與亞熱帶地區,彼此間外表看似相似,但其實關係遙遠,新世界與舊世界族群的類似性乃源自於趨同演化。 |
Dutch ..... Algemene term die verwijst naar leden van 22 soorten grote, aasetende vogels die voornamelijk leven in de tropische en subtropische streken van de Nieuwe en de Oude Wereld. Hoewel de soorten uiterlijke gelijkenis vertonen, zijn ze slechts verre verwanten en zijn de overeenkomsten tussen de gieren van de Oude en die van de Nieuwe Wereld (condors) het gevolg van convergerende evolutie. |
