A new confuciusornithid bird with a secondary epiphyseal ossification reveals phylogenetic changes in confuciusornithid flight mode
A new species of Confuciusornis, a genus of basal birds from the Early Cretaceous, reveals that these early birds had stronger flight capability and more diverse flight modes than previously expected.
