Oldest Finch-Beaked Birds Reveal Parallel Ecological Radiations in the Earliest Evolution of Passerines
Abstract
•Finch-beaked bird fossils provide evidence for Eocene passerines with seed-based diets•Eocene stem passerines underwent a radiation paralleling that of modern passerines•Stem passerines evolved a wide array of beak shapes but ultimately died out Beak shape plays a key role in avian radiations and is one of the most intensely studied aspects of avian evolution and ecology [1Grant P.R.
