摘要: 家养动物及其野生近缘种是重要的战略生物资源, 对新品种选育、种业创新、野生动物保护至关重要。我国拥有丰富且独特的家养动物品种, 也是众多野生近缘种的现生分布地和家养动物驯化起源中心之一。家养动物及其野生近缘种的中文名和拉丁名用法混乱, 阻碍了战略生物资源的准确鉴定, 影响了有效的科研交流和科普宣传, 并容易造成重要战略生物资源的流失。本文通过检索国内外相关文献、网站, 调查了家养动物驯化起源历史最新的研究进展, 着重分析了家养动物及其野生近缘种的中文名、拉丁名、英文名的来源和使用情况, 并结合《国家重点保护野生动物名录(2021)》、中国生物多样性红色名录(2021)、《濒危野生动植物种国际贸易公约(2023)》等官方文件和学术报告的有关物种名称的使用情况, 梳理了主要家养动物及其野生近缘种的名称在这3种语言间的对应关系, 在此基础上提出了适合国内使用的18种主要家养动物的中文名和拉丁名的使用建议。

Abstract

Background & Aim: Domestic animals and their wild relatives are important biological resources crucial to the creation of new breeds, germplasm innovation and wildlife protection. China has abundant and unique domestic breeds and is one of the distributions of many wild relatives and the origin centers of animal domestication. The confusion in the usage of Chinese and Latin names for domestic animals and their wild relatives hinders the accurate identification of biological resources, impairs effective scientific research communication and science popularization, and contributes to the loss of vital biological resources. 

Methods: We search online resources and official documents such as the List of State Key Protected Wild Animals (2021), threatened species listed on China’s Red List (2021), Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (2023) among others. This information is used to investigate the history and origin of domesticating animals and the sources and use of names for domestic animals and their wild relatives in Chinese, English, and Latin languages. 

Conclusion & Suggestions: We find four key principles: (1) The Latin names of domestic animals and wild relatives must consider their origin and domestication history. (2) The Chinese names of domestic animals and wild relatives should conform to the rules of taxonomy, using the names of official documents or related monographs is recommended. (3) The Latin name of offspring produced by the hybridization of species should be expressed by the Latin scientific name of the parent, and the order of the Latin name should be distinguished from the orthogonal or inverse cross. (4) International conventions, national laws and regulations, scientific reports, and other official documents shall be used first according to context.

Key words: domesticated animal, wild relatives, Chinese name, Latin name, name determination
