Class Aves

Archaeopteryx 150 MYA

Archaeopteryx Skeleton

Avian Skeleton

Major Bird Groups Paleognathae –Mostly flightless –Usually ratite sternum (flat) Neognathae –Mostly flying birds with carinate sternum (keeled)

Is It A Bird? Wings Feathers Beak Oviparous

Placode Specification

Placode Growth

Barb & Barbule Development Down feather development Pennacous feather development

Mature Feather Pennaceous Plumulaceous

Feathers or Scales Inhibition of BMP4 signaling in chick hindlimb causes dorsal scales (scutes) to develop as feathers and prevents apoptosis of interdigit webbing

Does a Chicken have Lips? Figure 1 A "hen's tooth" formed by the combination of chick pharyngeal (presumptive jaw) ectoderm and mouse molar mesenchyme. (From Kollar and Fisher, 1980; courtesy of E. J. Kollar.)
