SUMMARY Parrots (order Psittaciformes) have developed novel cranial morphology. At the same time, they show considerable morphological diversity in the cranial musculoskeletal system, which includes two novel structures: the suborbital arch and the musculus (M.) pseudomasseter. To understand comprehensively the evolutionary pattern and process of novel cranial morphology in parrots, phylogenetic and developmental studies were conducted. Firstly, we undertook phylogenetic analyses based on…

A geometric morphometric approach was used to analyse two-dimensional cranial landmarks and dietary categories overlap in the morphospace but the analysis in lateral and ventral view resulted in significant differences.
Molecular and cellular changes associated with the evolution of novel jaw muscles in parrots
- BiologyProceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences
- 2013
Parrots provide valuable insights into molecular and cellular mechanisms that may generate evolutionary novelties with functionally adaptive significance, and the alteration of neural crest-derived connective tissue distribution during development may underlie the spatial changes in jaw musculoskeletal architecture found only in parrots.
The multifactorial nature of beak and skull shape evolution in parrots and cockatoos (Psittaciformes)
- BiologyBMC Evolutionary Biology
- 2019
It is proposed that allometry and integration are important factors causing canalization of the avian head, and while diet clearly has an influence on beak shape between families, this may not be as important at driving evolvability within families as is commonly assumed.

Abstract Molecular analyses have started to provide a congruent picture of parrot interrelationships but the affinities of some taxa remain uncertain and there have been few attempts to correlate the…
Early embryogenesis in discoglossoid frogs: a study of heterochrony at different taxonomic levels
- Biology
- 2009
Comparisons with other species show that attempts to correlate heterochronies in early development with life history changes should take into account the possibility of a rather high evolvability, i.e. a high probability of convergence in the timing of these early events.
Differential cellular proliferation underlies heterochronic generation of cranial diversity in phyllostomid bats

This is the first study which links differential cellular proliferation and developmental modularity with heterochronic developmental changes, leading to the evolution of adaptive cranial diversity in an important group of mammals.
Association between integration structure and functional evolution in the opercular four-bar apparatus of the threespine stickleback, Gasterosteus aculeatus (Pisces: Gasterosteidae)

The matched modular phenotypic and functional architecture of head and jaw structures of stickleback may be important for facilitating their rapid adaptive transitions between highly divergent habitats.
Increasing morphological complexity in multiple parallel lineages of the Crustacea

- BiologyEcology and evolution

It is demonstrated that modularity and integration bias the production of phenotypes along the brachycephalic and dolichocephalic skull axis and contribute to multiple, independent evolutionary transformations to highly brachycephalian and dolandic skull morphologies.

- BiologyJournal of morphology

The normal developmental stages of the cockatiel (Nymphicus hollandicus), comparable to that of the chick, and the peculiar skeletal myogenesis in the first visceral arch of parrots is described, mainly focusing on the development of two new jaw muscles.

- Biology

The conversion of the preexisting elements into a new and significantly improved cichlid adaptive complex of high selective value may have evolved by rapid steps under influence of strong selection pressure acting on the minor reconstruction of the -genotype which is involved in evolutionary changes of the pertinent ontogenetic mechanisms.

The parrot-specific suborbital arch and cranio-facial hinge are considered to be essential for eating hard and/or large meals and the construction of a robust avian phylogeny is desired.
MORPHOLOGICAL INTEGRATION IN THE CARNIVORAN SKULL

Analysis of cranial morphological integration in 30 species from the mammalian order Carnivora, spanning eight extant families and a wide range of ecological and morphological diversity, supports the proposition that evolutionary history is correlated with cranial integration across large clades, although in some smaller clades diet also exerts significant influence on the correlated evolution of traits.

This study investigated distribution and migration patterns of cranial neural crest cells (NCCs) through parrot embryogenesis with immunohistochemical techniques to further understand the role of cranials NCCs in the evolution of the M. pseudomasseter, and to provide new information on the relative plasticity in cranial NCC migration at early stages of avian development.

Evidence was provided that variation in mandibular morphology is heritable, subject to modification by natural selection, and that divergence among different genetic stocks has apparently occurred through changes in these developmental units and their derivative structures.
