Journal ArticleDOI
Amniote phylogeny and the importance of fossils
TL;DR: The importance of the critical fossils seems to reside in their relative primitive‐ness, and the simplest explanation for their more conservative nature is that they have had less time to evolve.
Journal ArticleDOI
Life and death: metabolic rate, membrane composition, and life span of animals.
TL;DR: The links between metabolic rate andmaximum life span of mammals and birds as well as the linking role of membrane fatty acid composition in determining the maximum life span are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Higher-order phylogeny of modern birds (Theropoda, Aves: Neornithes) based on comparative anatomy. II. Analysis and discussion
TL;DR: A phylogenetic (cladistic) analysis of 150 taxa of Neornithes, including exemplars from all non-passeriform families, and subordinal representatives of Passeriformes, confirmed the topology among outgroup Theropoda and achieved robust resolution at virtually all levels of the NeornIthes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Basal Archosaurs: Phylogenetic Relationships and Functional Implications
TL;DR: Erect posture has been identified as the key adaptation (possibly associated with locomotor stamina) that resulted in the archosaurian radiation.
Journal ArticleDOI
The structure and innervation of the pigeon's basilar papilla
TL;DR: Sensory cells in the pigeon's basilar papilla can be divided into three groups on the basis of shape, cuticular plate dimensions, and innervation.
