functional morphology

基本解释

Besides understanding the lifestyle and functional morphology of this peculiar animal, this is a second important challenge for us – to decipher its origin and ways of evolving.
除了理解这独特物种的生活风格和功能形态学，我们的次要挑战是——解译其来源和进化历程。
So whether these are phylogenetically or ecologically driven modifications, is unclear for the moment, and should be explained only after detailed functional morphology analyses of Balaur.
因此无论这是由进化还是生态所驱使的改变，目前还不确定，不过应该只要对巴拉乌尔龙经过详细的功能形态学分析后就会水落石出。
For the moment what is sure is that, if functional morphology reasoning is reliable to any reasonable degree, Balaur did what it did in a markedly different manner than its close relatives.
目前我们所确定的是，如果功能形态学的结果在任何方面能值得信赖的话，巴拉乌尔龙的行为方式与它的近亲有着截然的不同。
