New developmental evidence supports a homeotic frameshift of digit identity in the evolution of the bird wing

BACKGROUND: The homology of the digits in the bird wing is a high-profile controversy in developmental and evolutionary biology. The embryonic position of the digits cartilages with respect to the primary axis (ulnare and ulna) corresponds to 2, 3, 4, but comparative-evolutionary morphology supports...
