Feathering Dinosaurs: The transition from Theropods to Birds [PDF]
Desde el inicio del pensamiento evolutivo, el origen de las aves ha constituido uno de los problemas más polémicos de la biología evolutiva. En la actualidad, un gran cúmulo de evidencia indica que dicho problema se encuentra de gran manera resuelto.

Plumage color patterns of an extinct dinosaur
For as long as dinosaurs have been known to exist, there has been speculation about their appearance. Fossil feathers can preserve the morphology of color-imparting melanosomes, which allow color patterns in feathered dinosaurs to be reconstructed. Here,

A recently discovered small maniraptoran from the Morrison Formation of Wyoming provides new evidence for the placement of small Jurassic maniraptorans in theropod phylogeny. The specimen, WDC DML-01, is one of the oldest known taxa to be referred to the

Linking the evolution of body shape and locomotor biomechanics in bird-line archosaurs
Locomotion in living birds (Neornithes) has two remarkable features: feather-assisted flight, and the use of unusually crouched hindlimbs for bipedal support and movement.

Phase I (Theropoda), variable posterior extension of paraxial cervical air sacs. Phase II (Tetanurae), elaboration of cranial (clavicular) and caudal (abdominal) intrathoracic air sac divisions and subcutaneous diverticulae. Phase III (Maniraptoriformes),

Synchrotron scanning reveals amphibious ecomorphology in a new clade of bird-like dinosaurs.
Maniraptora includes birds and their closest relatives among theropod dinosaurs. During the Cretaceous period, several maniraptoran lineages diverged from the ancestral coelurosaurian bauplan and evolved novel ecomorphologies, including active flight,

We describe four theropod teeth from the Upper Hauterivian-Lowermost Barremian of La Cantalera (Teruel, Spain), characterized by the presence of denticles only in their distal edge, being the mesial one rounded. These two features suggest affinities with
