Longisquama insignis was an unusual archosaur from the Late Triassic of central Asia. Along its dorsal axis Longisquama bore a series of paired integumentary appendages that resembled avian feathers in many details, especially in the anatomy of the basal region. The latter is sufficiently similar to the calamus of modern feathers that each probably represents the culmination of virtually identical morphogenetic processes. The exact relationship of Longisquama to birds is uncertain. Nevertheless, we interpret Longisquama's elongate integumentary appendages as nonavian feathers and suggest that they are probably homologous with avian feathers. If so, they antedate the feathers of Archaeopteryx, the first known bird from the Late Jurassic.  相似文献

Penguin feathers are highly modified in form and function, but there have been no fossils to inform their evolution. A giant penguin with feathers was recovered from the late Eocene (~36 million years ago) of Peru. The fossil reveals that key feathering features, including undifferentiated primary wing feathers and broad body contour feather shafts, evolved early in the penguin lineage. Analyses of fossilized color-imparting melanosomes reveal that their dimensions were similar to those of non-penguin avian taxa and that the feathering may have been predominantly gray and reddish-brown. In contrast, the dark black-brown color of extant penguin feathers is generated by large, ellipsoidal melanosomes previously unknown for birds. The nanostructure of penguin feathers was thus modified after earlier macrostructural modifications of feather shape linked to aquatic flight.  相似文献

本文研究5种禽类羽毛氨基酸组分和含量分析的差异.新浦东鸡的副羽含量最高达90.1%;居古拉火鸡最低在71%。14种羽毛的氨基酸平均含量为80%。从氨基酸组分看,丝氨酸,谷氨酸和亮氨酸较高。而赖氨酸,组氨酸和甲硫氨酸均较低,这与已发表的文献一致[3]。  相似文献

利用京白Ⅱ系公鸡与罗斯褐商品代母鸡进行杂交,初生雏具有快、慢羽两种性状,通过观察分析、解剖证实:杂交后代能利用快、慢羽这一相对性状进行雌雄鉴别,效果可靠。从初生雏的毛色来看有五种不同类型,但以纯白色所占的比例最大,这证明京白Ⅱ系的白羽对罗斯鸡的褐羽为不完全显性。  相似文献

Some nonavian theropod dinosaurs were at least partially covered in feathers or filamentous protofeathers. However, a complete understanding of feather distribution among theropod dinosaurs is limited because feathers are typically preserved only in lagerst?tten like that of Solnhofen, Germany or Liaoning, China. Such deposits possess clear taphonomic biases toward small-bodied animals, limiting our knowledge regarding feather presence in larger members of feathered clades. We present direct evidence of feathers in Velociraptor mongoliensis based on the presence of quill knobs on the posterior forearm. This report of secondaries in a larger-bodied, derived, and clearly flightless member of a nonavian theropod clade represented by feathered relatives is a substantial contribution to our knowledge of the evolution of feathers.  相似文献

Nudds and Dyke (Reports, 14 May 2010, p. 887) compared the rachis diameters of the primary feathers of Archaeopteryx and Confuciusornis to those of modern birds and found that the primary feathers of these two basal birds were too weak to support sustained flight. Our measurements of Confuciusornis specimens suggest that their conclusions need to be further evaluated.  相似文献

During courtship flights, males of some hummingbird species produce diverse sounds with tail feathers of varying shapes. We show that these sounds are produced by air flowing past a feather, causing it to aeroelastically flutter and generate flutter-induced sound. Scanning laser doppler vibrometery and high-speed video of individual feathers of different sizes and shapes in a wind tunnel revealed multiple vibratory modes that produce a range of acoustic frequencies and harmonic structures. Neighboring feathers can be aerodynamically coupled and flutter either at the same frequency, resulting in sympathetic vibrations that increase loudness, or at different frequencies, resulting in audible interaction frequencies. Aeroelastic flutter is intrinsic to stiff airfoils such as feathers and thus explains tonal sounds that are common in bird flight.  相似文献

朱鹮羽毛的扫描电镜观察   总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5  
用扫描电子显微镜对朱鹮(Nipponia nippon)不同部位羽毛进行了超微结构观察。结果表明:起飞翔作用的飞羽和尾羽主要由有钩羽小枝和无钩羽小枝构成;有钩羽小枝和无钩羽小枝相互啮合形成坚实的羽面来减少飞行阻力。组成羽冠的颈羽有着特殊的特点,先端羽小枝两侧全部为无钩羽小枝,而后沿着羽轴向根部逐渐变化,出现有钩羽小枝。尾羽的有钩羽小枝中的小钩数绝大多数为4个,纤毛为6对;飞羽的有钩羽小枝中的小钩数绝大多数为5个,少部分为6个,纤毛为6对;颈羽的有钩羽小枝小钩数绝大多数为4个,纤毛为5对。朱鹮的各羽小枝的腹齿数变化较大。羽轴及羽枝轴无明显特征,髓质层由多孔的髓腔构成。  相似文献

为了确定饲喂鹅绒助长剂的鹅适宜首次拔毛时间和上下次拔毛时间间隔,利用对照组与试验组鹅各10只,分别从70日龄和第1次拔毛后的第36 d 开始,直至80日龄和首次拔毛后的第40 d,每隔1 d 观测各鹅颈下1/3、胸腹部和背部的血管毛根数和羽根血肉附着情况.结果表明,观测至80日龄和首次拔毛后第40 d 时,所测处,试验组无可见血管毛和血肉附着的羽根,而对照组却两者均存在.因此,饲喂鹅绒助长剂,进行养鹅拔毛时,适宜的首次拔毛时间是第80日龄,上下次拔毛的时间间隔为40 d.  相似文献

A primitive enantiornithine bird and the origin of feathers   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
Zhang F  Zhou Z 《Science (New York, N.Y.)》2000,290(5498):1955-1959
A fossil enantiornithine bird, Protopteryx fengningensis gen. et sp. nov., was collected from the Early Cretaceous Yixian Formation of Northern China. It provides fossil evidence of a triosseal canal in early birds. The manus and the alular digit are long, as in Archaeopteryx and Confuciusornis, but are relatively short in other enantiornithines. The alula or bastard wing is attached to an unreduced alular digit. The two central tail feathers are scalelike without branching. This type of feather may suggest that modern feathers evolved through the following stages: (i) elongated scale, (ii) central shaft, (iii) barbs, and finally (iv) barbules and barbicel.  相似文献

Vanes in the primary flight feathers of Archaeopteryx conform to the asymmetric pattern in modern flying birds. The asymmetry has aerodynamic functions and can be assumed to have evolved in the selective context of flight.  相似文献

Identifying ornithophilous plant species utilized by several different flower-visiting birds is simplified by the scanning electron microscope. The technique involves comparing pollen samples taken from the birds' head feathers with pollen reference standards collected in the same area, which simplifies analysis of pollination patterns in a complex community.  相似文献

The pigment on the secondary feathers of the cedar waxwing (Bombycilla cedrorum) is deposited as an amorphous layer upon a supporting medullary structure. The pigment was extracted with alkali and analyzed by chromatographic and spectrophotometric methods. The results indicate that the pigment is astacene (3,3',4,4'-tetra-keto-beta-carotene), the oxidation product of astaxanthin.  相似文献

The growth of chicks decreased, and specific abnormalities of hocks and feathers increased, when cadmium was added to a zinc-deficient diet. Supplementation of the diet with zinc prevented the adverse effect of cadmium on hock and feather development and partially offset the effect on growth. Changes in the gizzard lining, also resulting from cadmium ingestion, were partially prevented by increase in the zinc intake.  相似文献
