Abstract
The paper reports on the original findings of scanning electron microscope comparison of the fine structure of primary remiges inFalco rusticolus, F. cherrug, F. peregrinus, and F. rusticolus х F. cherrug. The study identified a number of species-specific microstructural characteristics that show a high diagnostic potential for taxonomic identifications in forensic biology.
