文摘

Nuclear genome fragments from extinct elephant bird species were recovered A stable phylogenomic time tree for the Palaeognathae was inferred A Laurasian origin of Palaeognathae is supported by molecular and morphological data Ancestral paleognaths had small body size (∼3.5–5 kg) and probably were volant
