The evolutionary origin of avian facial bristles and the likely role of rictal bristles in feeding ecology
Abstract Facial bristles are one of the least described feather types and have not yet been systematically studied across phylogenetically diverse avian species. Consequently, little is known about their form, function and evolutionary history. Here we address this knowledge gap by characterising th...
