Abstract The cranio‐mandibular complex is an important structure involved in food capture and processing. Its morphology related to the nature of item. Jaw muscles enable motion this their study essential for functional evolutionary analysis. present compares available behavioral dietary data obtained from literature with novel results morphological analyses Guira cuckoo ( guira ) understand its relationship zoophagous trophic habit species. bite force was estimated based on muscle...
Abstract The New World suboscines ( Passeriformes and Tyrannides) are one of the biggest endemic vertebrate radiations in South America, including families Furnariidae Tyrannidae . Avian brain morphology is a reliable proxy to study their evolution. aim this work elucidate whether brains these reflect ecological differences (e.g., feeding behavior) clarify macroevolutionary aspects neuroanatomy. Our hypotheses as follows: Brain size similar between both with other ; Tyrannides result...
We used three-dimensional digital models to investigate the brain and endosseous labyrinth morphology of selected Neotropical Piciformes (Picidae, Ramphastidae, Galbulidae Bucconidae). Remarkably, clearly separates from species other families. The eminentiae sagittales Bucconidae (insectivorous with high aerial maneuverability abilities) are smaller than those toucans (scansorial frugivores). Galbula showed proportionally largest cerebellum, Ramphastidae least foliated one. Optic lobes ratio...
Abstract To study morphological evolution, it is necessary to combine information from multiple intersecting research fields. Here, we report on the structure of bony and muscular elements craniomandibular complex birds, highlighting its architecture complexity (or simplification) in context anatomical networks Band‐winged Nightjar Systellura longirostris (Caprimulgiformes, Caprimulgidae). This species has skull osteology jaw myology that departs general structural plan Neornithes considered...
