(CN) - A new study on bird wing shape has found a pattern among birds of the same ancestry, called clades, and little correlation among flight styles. Previous wing shape studies have measured bone ...

Bird dispersal movements are thought to depend on complex demographic and genetic factors. Researchers show that there may be a simpler explanation: bird dispersal distances depend on the morphology ...

Not all bird eggs are hatched equal. Some eggs, such as that of the common quail, are tiny and pocket-sized. Other eggs fit an entire bowl, such as that of the ostrich. The question, however, is this: ...

Bird wings adapted for long-distance flight are linked to their environment and behavior, according to new research on an extensive database of wing measurements. Bird wings adapted for long-distance ...

Bird dispersal movements are thought to depend on complex demographic and genetic factors. Dr. Santiago Claramunt, Associate Curator of Birds at the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) and Assistant Professor ...
