Journal of Anatomy, 230(3), 435-443. https://doi.org/10.1111/joa.12571The pectoral girdle is a complex structure which varies in its morphology between species. A major component in birds is the furcula, which can be considered equivalent to a fusion of the paired clavicles found in many mammals, and the single intercl...

Limb proportions show developmental plasticity in response to embryo movement (2017)
Journal Article
Pollard, A. S., Charlton, B. G., Hutchinson, J. R., Gustafsson, T., McGonnell, I. M., Timmons, J. A., & Pitsillides, A. A. (2017). Limb proportions show developmental plasticity in response to embryo movement. https://doi.org/10.1038/srep41926Animals have evolved limb proportions adapted to different environments, but it is not yet clear to what extent these proportions are directly influenced by the environment during prenatal development. The developing skeleton experiences mechanical l... Read More about Limb proportions show developmental plasticity in response to embryo movement.
