Biostratigraphy and biochronology of the Monte Hermoso Formation (early Pliocene) at its type locality, Buenos Aires Province, Argentina
TL;DR: In this paper, the results of the analysis of new materials recovered from different levels of the Monte Hermoso Formation, following a strict control of stratigraphic provenance, are reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
The evolution of giant flightless birds and novel phylogenetic relationships for extinct fowl (Aves, Galloanseres)
TL;DR: Trait analyses showed that while gigantism and flightlessness evolved repeatedly in groups, diet is constrained by phylogeny: all giant Galloanseres and palaeognaths are herbivores or mainly herbivorous, and giant neoavians are zoophagous or omnivorous.

TL;DR: Madrynornis mirandus as mentioned in this paper is a new medium-sized penguin from the early late Miocene Puerto Madryn Formation, Chubut Province, Argentina, which has an arrangement of the proximal foramina and a degree of metatarsals fusion similar to that in the living forms, although its elongation index is reminiscent of the extinct Paraptenodytes.
Journal Article
The oldest fossil record of the extant penguin genus Spheniscus--a new species from the Miocene of Peru
TL;DR: This study contains morphological comparisons with Tertiary penguins of South America and with most of the extant penguin species.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Phororhacoid bird from the Eocene of Africa
TL;DR: Two hypotheses are proposed to account for the presence of a phororhacoid bird in Africa, either an early dispersal of small members of this group, which were still able of a limited flight, or a transoceanic migration of flightless birds from South America to Africa during the Paleocene or earliest Eocene.
