A redescription of Lithornis vulturinus (Aves, Palaeognathae) from the Early Eocene Fur Formation of Denmark

Zootaxa, 2015
The extinct Lithornithidae include several genera and species of flying palaeognathous birds of controversial affinities known from the Early Paleogene of North America and Europe. An almost complete, articulated skeleton from the Early Eocene marine deposits of the Fur Formation (Denmark) was recently assigned to Lithornis vulturinus Owen, 1840.

Closing in the skull: Drivers of ontogenetic changes in emu skulls, Dromaius novaehollandiae (Palaeognathae: Casuariidae)

The FASEB Journal, 2022
In modern birds (Palaeognathae and Neognathae), the adult skull combines tightly sutured and co‐ossified units with kinetic flexion zones, serving as a multitasking ‘second hand’. How the skull osteology changes postnatally in different bird lineages is underexplored, especially regarding the morphological and physiological changes across the altricial‐

Phylogenetic interpretation of eggs and eggshells: implications for phylogeny of Palaeognathae

Alcheringa: An Australasian Journal of Palaeontology, 2006
This oological analysis supports Palaeognathae monophyly, and places Dromornithidae within Neognathae, the sister clade of Paleognathae. This Dromornithidae relationship is congruent with a recent phylogenetic hypothesis, based on cranial characters, that differs from the original assignment of this group of extinct birds to the Palaeognathae.

Virtual reconstructions of the endocranial cavity of Rhea americana (Aves, Palaeognathae): postnatal anatomical changes.

Brain, behavior and evolution, 2011
We examined the external anatomy of the endocast of the Greater Rhea (Rhea americana, Palaeognathae), during 3 main stages of its postnatal life, and compared it with information available on other palaeognathous birds. Series of scans with spiral computed tomographies were obtained from 3 skulls of different ages (chick, juvenile and adult) of R ...
