Abstract:Hair-crested Drongo (Dicrurus hottentottus) is monomorphic bird and is difficult determined their sex in the field.In this study,we created a disriminant model based on the morphometrical measurements from 79 specimens of D.h.brevirostris to identify sex for those specimens who were capture in Dongzhai National Nature Reserve,Henan and their sex were determined by using molecular technical method.The morphometrical measurements included body mass,bill length,bill depth,bill-head length,tarsus length,wing length,tail length,body length,number of hairs,length of the longest hair,length of the second-longest hair,length of the third-longest hair and average length of three longest hairs.The measurements of bill depth,bill-head length,tarsus length,wing length,tail length,number of hairs and length of the longest hair took from males were significantly larger than those from the females.By constructing the discriminant model based on a given single morphological measurements that is significant difference between male and female,we found that model based on wing length had the highest accuracy (81.0%) on average than models built by multiple morphological measurement.Therefore,we recommend the wing length model D (discriminant score)=0.239×wing length-40.359 can be used to determine the sex for Hair-crested Drongo.
