Abstract
Subject: Evolutionary Biology
Contributors: Rebecca O'Connor, Rafael Kretschmer, Michael N. Romanov, Darren Griffin
Birds (Aves) are the most speciose of terrestrial vertebrates, displaying Class-specific characteristics yet incredible external phenotypic diversity. Critical to agriculture and as model organisms, birds have adapted to many habitats. The only extant examples of dinosaurs, birds emerged ~150 mya and >10% are currently threatened with extinction.
