ABSTRACT


Velvet Scoter Melanitta fusca, belongs to the duck family Anatidae. There is a relevant heart structure differentiation among that group of birds. The aim of the study was to evaluate basic parameters of body and heart structure of Velvet Scoters living at the Baltic sea. The research determined significant correlations between heart structures (ventricles weight) parameters. We established indexes which may be applied for comparative filogenetic and morphologic studies. The presented study extends present knowledge regarding the anatomic heart structure of wild birds in correlation with their lifestyle.

Key words: birds, heart, morphology.
