Active flight in birds, and wing flapping - greater power output than swimming, walking or running
Evolution of key avian attributes - morphological and behavioral correlates of flapping flight
Flight speed, affecting type of wing posture - during intermittent pauses in some species
Functional morphology of wing - primary flight muscles, major downstroke muscle, the pectoralis, and major upstroke muscle, the supracoracoideus
Locomotor development during ontogeny - in chukar partridge (Alectoris chukar) from hatching to adulthood
Ontogeny, as a model for evolution of flapping flight - cursorial hypotheses, that ancestors of birds ran bipedally using long and slender theropod hind limbs
Power for flight, as a function of flight speed - according to a U-shaped curve
Primary flight muscles in bird flight - the supracoracoideus (SUPRA) and pectoralis (PECT)
Wing and feather development - for chukar partridge (Alectoris chukar) during ontogeny
Wing-tip reversal (supination) - during upstroke of slow flight in a rock dove
