Barb geometry of asymmetrical feathers reveals a transitional morphology in the evolution of avian flight
The geometry of feather barbs (barb length and barb angle) determines feather vane asymmetry and vane rigidity, which are both critical to a feather's aerodynamic performance. Here, we describe the relationship between barb geometry and aerodynamic function across the evolutionary history of as...
