A surrogate forelimb: evolution, function and development of the avian cervical spine
RD Marek - Journal of Morphology, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
The neck is a critical portion of the avian spine, one that works in tandem with the beak to act
as a surrogate forelimb and allows birds to manipulate their surroundings despite the lack of …
