Extensive chondroid bone in juvenile duck limbs hints at accelerated growth mechanism in avian skeletogenesis
Modern altricial birds are the fastest growing vertebrates, whereas various degrees of precocity (functional maturity) result in slower growth. Diaphyseal osteohistology, the best proxy for inferring relative growth rates in fossils, suggests that in the earliest birds, posthatching growth rates wer...
