Shake a Tail Feather: The Evolution of the Theropod Tail into a Stiff Aerodynamic Surface
Theropod dinosaurs show striking morphological and functional tail variation; e.g., a long, robust, basal theropod tail used for counterbalance, or a short, modern avian tail used as an aerodynamic surface. We used a quantitative morphological and functional analysis to reconstruct intervertebral jo...
