AFFINITIES OF PALAEOSPIZA BELLA AND THE PHYLOGENY AND BIOGEOGRAPHY OF MOUSEBIRDS (COLIIFORMES)
AUK, 126(2), 245–259.
author keywords: Coliidae; Coliiformes; Florissant Formation; fossil; mousebird; Palaeospiza bella; phylogeny
TL;DR:
It is shown that P. bella is a member of the Coliiformes (mousebirds) and represents the latest North American occurrence of a clade with an exclusively African extant distribution and Phylogenetic results imply that a minimum of three mousebird dispersals from Europe to North America occurred during the Early Cenozoic.

TAXONOMIC REVISON OF THE BASAL NEORNITHISCHIAN TAXA THESCELOSAURUS AND BUGENASAURA
JOURNAL OF VERTEBRATE PALEONTOLOGY, 29(3), 758–770.
TL;DR:
This analysis is the first to recover a clade containing all basal neornithischian taxa from the Cretaceous of North America, within which P. warreni is recovered as the sister taxon to a Thescelosaurus clade whose monophyly is supported by five cranial autapomorphies.

Insight into diversity, body size and morphological evolution from the largest Early Cretaceous enantiornithine bird
JOURNAL OF ANATOMY, 212(5), 565–577.
author keywords: bird evolution; China; Early Cretaceous; Enantiornithes
TL;DR:
The largest Early Cretaceous enantiornithine bird from north‐east China is reported, which provides evidence that basal members of Enantiornithes share more morphologies with ornithurine birds than previously recognized, and allows a re‐evaluation of a previously proposed hypothesis of competitive exclusion among EarlyCretaceous avian clades.

2008 journal article
Mosaicism, modules, and the evolution of birds: Results from a Bayesian approach to the study of morphological evolution using discrete character data
SYSTEMATIC BIOLOGY, 57(2), 185–201.
author keywords: Bayesian analyses; birds; flight; fossils; morphological data; mosaic evolution; quantitative methods
MeSH headings : Animals; Bayes Theorem; Biological Evolution; Birds / anatomy & histology; Birds / genetics; Flight, Animal; Models, Biological
TL;DR:
Results suggest limited support for some pectoral branch lengths being significantly longer only early at/after the origin of flight, and preference for models with partitions defined a priori by anatomical subregion is consistent with a disjunctive pattern of character change for the data set investigated and may have implications for parameterization of Bayesian analyses of morphological data more generally.

Osteology of Icadyptes salasi, a giant penguin from the Eocene of Peru
JOURNAL OF ANATOMY, 213(2), 131–147.
author keywords: alula; body size; fossil; palaeontology; Pisco Basin; Spheniscidae
MeSH headings : Animals; Biometry / methods; Bone and Bones / anatomy & histology; Bones of Upper Extremity / anatomy & histology; Cervical Vertebrae / anatomy & histology; Extinction, Biological; Fossils; Geological Phenomena; Peru; Skull / anatomy & histology; Spheniscidae / anatomy & histology; Spheniscidae / classification
TL;DR:
Fossils from Peru document that penguins expanded to nearly the whole of their extant latitudinal range early in their evolutionary history and during one of the warmest intervals in the Cenozoic.

Species names in the PhyloCode: The approach adopted by the international society for phylogenetic nomenclature
SYSTEMATIC BIOLOGY, 57(3), 507–514.
MeSH headings : Classification / methods; Phylogeny; Societies; Terminology as Topic
TL;DR:
Gene trees and species trees are not the same, and Bayesian posterior distributions of a species phylogeny using estimated gene tree distributions are recommended.

A basal Dromaeosaurid and size evolution preceding avian flight
SCIENCE, 317(5843), 1378–1381.
MeSH headings : Animals; Biological Evolution; Birds / anatomy & histology; Body Size; Bone and Bones / anatomy & histology; Dinosaurs / anatomy & histology; Dinosaurs / classification; Flight, Animal; Fossils; Mongolia; Phylogeny
TL;DR:
Change in theropod body size leading to flight's origin was not unidirectional, and the two dinosaurian lineages most closely related to birds, dromaeosaurids and troodontids, underwent four independent events of gigantism, and in some lineages size increased by nearly three orders of magnitude.

Paleogene equatorial penguins challenge the proposed relationship between biogeography, diversity, and Cenozoic climate change
PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, 104(28), 11545–11550.
author keywords: aves; evolution; Peru; fossil; Bergmann's rule
MeSH headings : Animals; Biodiversity; Biological Evolution; Climate; Fossils; Natural History; Peru; Phylogeny; Spheniscidae / anatomy & histology
TL;DR:
The most comprehensive phylogenetic analysis of Sphenisciformes to date, combining morphological and molecular data, places the new species outside the extant penguin radiation (crown clade: Speniscidae) and supports two separate dispersals to equatorial regions during greenhouse earth conditions.

Insight into the evolution of avian flight from a new clade of Early Cretaceous ornithurines from China and the morphology of Yixianornis grabaui
JOURNAL OF ANATOMY, 208(3), 287–308.
author keywords: birds; flight; morphological evolution; Ornithurae
MeSH headings : Animals; Biological Evolution; Birds / anatomy & histology; Bone and Bones / anatomy & histology; China; Feathers; Flight, Animal / physiology; Fossils; Phylogeny; Tail / anatomy & histology
TL;DR:
The complete articulated holotype specimen of Yixianornis grabaui, from the Early Cretaceous Jiufotang Formation of Liaoning Province, in north‐eastern China, arguably the best‐preserved basal ornithurine specimen yet discovered, provides the earliest evidence consistent with the presence of extant avian tail feather fanning.
