Aerodynamics from Cursorial Running to Aerial Gliding for Avian Flight Evolution
Among the different models that have been proposed to explain the origin of avian flight<br />from terrestrial predators, the cursorial and arboreal hypotheses remain the most discussed.<br />However, the fossil data at hand show that, taken separately, both theories have significant<...
