Aerodynamic modelling of a Cretaceous bird reveals thermal soaring capabilities during early avian evolution
(2017-07)Several flight modes are thought to have evolved during the early evolution of birds. Here, we use a combination of computational modelling and morphofunctional analyses to infer the flight properties of the raven-sized, ... -
Flight reconstruction of two European enantiornithines (Aves, Pygostylia) and the achievement of bounding flight in Early Cretaceous birds
Serrano, Francisco José; Chiappe, Luis M.; Palmqvist-Barrena, Carlos Paul
; Figueirido-Castillo, Francisco Borja; Marugán-Lobón, Jesús; Sanz, José L.[et al.] (Wiley, 2018-05)
Intermittent flight through flap-gliding (alternating flapping phases and gliding phases with spread wings) or bounding (flapping and ballistic phases with wings folded against the body) are strategies to optimize aerial ... -
The effect of long-term atmospheric changes on the macroevolution of birds.
Serrano, Francisco José; Chiappe, Luis M.; Palmqvist-Barrena, Carlos Paul; Figueirido-Castillo, Francisco Borja; Long, John; Sanz, José Luis[et al.] (Elsevier, 2019)
Atmospheric conditions are critical for a range of biological functions—locomotion among others—and long-term changes in these conditions have been identified as causal for different macroevolutionary patterns. Here we ...
