Shifts in stability and control effectiveness during evolution of Paraves support aerial maneuvering hypotheses for flight origins

The capacity for aerial maneuvering was likely a major influence on the evolution of flying animals. Here we evaluate consequences of paravian morphology for aerial performance by quantifying static stability and control effectiveness of physical models for numerous taxa sampled from within the line...
