Avian tail ontogeny, pygostyle formation, and interpretation of juvenile Mesozoic specimens
The avian tail played a critical role in the evolutionary transition from long- to short-tailed birds, yet its ontogeny in extant birds has largely been ignored. This deficit has hampered efforts to effectively identify intermediate species during the Mesozoic transition to short tails. Here we show...
