Journal Article
Regnault, S., Pitsillides, A. A., & Hutchinson, J. R. (2015). Structure, ontogeny and evolution of the patellar tendon in emus (Dromaius novaehollandiae) and other palaeognath birds. https://doi.org/10.7717/peerj.711

The patella (kneecap) exhibits multiple evolutionary origins in birds, mammals, and lizards, and is thought to increase the mechanical advantage of the knee extensor muscles. Despite appreciable interest in the specialized anatomy and locomotion of p...
