This research explores the evolution of flight in birds by examining the bone structure of modern birds and applying findings to extinct bird-like dinosaurs. It aims to clarify how developmental strategies influence locomotor capabilities and the origins of powered flight.
The evolutionary success of the most diverse group of land vertebrates, birds, largely lies in their ability to fly.
Spectacular fossils have demonstrated that birds are paravian dinosaurs; the only representatives to survive the end-Cretaceous mass extinction.
Extinct paravians close to the dinosaur–bird transition show diverse skeletal and plumage morphologies, suggesting substantial variability in aerial skills.
However, locomotor skills (e.g. running, flying) and related morphologies can cha…
