Birds have peramorphic skulls, too: anatomical network analyses reveal oppositional heterochronies in avian skull evolution

In contrast to the vast majority of reptiles, the skulls of adult crown birds are characterized by a high degree of integration due to bone fusion, e.g., an ontogenetic event generating a net reduction in the number of bones. To understand this process in an evolutionary context, we investigate post...
