Avian flight evolved higher in the avialan tree than commonly assumed.
Investigating the utility of applying physiological modeling tools to extinct vertebrates
The last two decades have seen a remarkable increase in the known diversity of basal avialans and their paravian relatives. The lack of resolution in the relationships of these groups combined with attributing the behavior of specialized taxa to the …
We describe the tenth skeletal specimen of the Upper Jurassic Archaeopterygidae. The almost complete and well-preserved skeleton is assigned to *Archaeopteryx siemensii* Dames, 1897 and provides significant new information on the osteology of the …
