Bare parts in the Galliformes: the evolution of a multifunctional structure

Royal Society Open Science
A morphological trait can have multiple functions shaped by varying selective forces. Bare parts in birds, such as wattles, casques and combs, are known to function in both signalling and thermoregulation.

Relationship between carina size and sternum morphology in birds reflects physical constraints of body size and flight style. [PDF]

J Anat
Sternum morphology varies among birds and is a function of body mass and order. The area of the sternum is inversely related to the area of the keel suggesting that the increase in bone mass associated with a large keel has been mitigated by a reduction in bone mass of the sternum.
