英文摘要: Names applied to particular analytical techniques must be explicit and distinctive. The potential that two distinct techniques of paleoenvironmental reconstruction that use ancient faunal remains, each with a particular name, might be confused in the future has recently become a reality. The name "mutual climatic range" (MCR), coined and developed in the 1980s and concerning the modern climatic (not geographic) co-occurrence of species represented in a prehistoric collection of remains, has been applied multiple times to a different technique first published in 2009. The new MCR technique is very similar to a distinct one developed in the 1950s and 1960s that focuses on the location of the geographic co-occurrence of species in an assemblage relative to the location of the deposit producing the remains. The older method has been known as the "area of sympatry" (AOS) technique since 1966. Histories of the AOS and original MCR techniques suggest they were developed independently. The new MCR technique seems to have been developed without knowledge of the two earlier ones. To avoid future confusion of one technique with the other, it is suggested that the new one be renamed the UTM-MCR technique because rather than use isopleths of climatic variables, as the AOS technique does, it considers climatic variables within 10 × 10 km UTM squares. © 2016.
