Mandibular morphology clarifies phylogenetic relationships near the origin of crown birds

Abi Crane, Juan Benito, Albert Chen, Daniel T. Ksepka, Daniel J. Field

Mandibular µCT reconstructions favour galliform-like, not palaeognath, affinities for Asteriornis; Vegavis and pelagornithid jaws lack key galloanseran synapomorphies and instead share features with stem bird Ichthyornis.

Towards a comprehensive anatomical matrix for crown birds: phylogenetic insights from the pectoral girdle and forelimb skeleton

Albert Chen, Elizabeth M. Steell, Roger Benson, Daniel J. Field

This study identifies phylogenetically informative characters in the pectoral girdle and forelimb skeleton of extant birds, highlighting challenges in morphological phylogenetics and the utility of combining morphology with molecular data.
