This study investigates ontogenetic changes in cranial morphology across Galloanserae to understand the developmental basis of cranial disparity between anseriforms and galliforms.

The paper quantitatively assesses avian palate ontogeny across 70 species to determine the developmental mechanisms behind morphological disparity, finding no evidence of neoteny but highlighting the role of developmental mode.

The paper critiques a study on avian palate evolution, highlighting issues with taxon sampling and morphological interpretations.

This study quantifies avian quadrate morphology variation and its relationship with ecological features across 200 bird species, finding stronger associations with allometry and phylogeny than feeding ecology.

This study examines how recent speciation influences phylogenetic diversity patterns across tetrapod clades, finding a negative relationship between speciation rates and phylogenetic diversity.
