I. Background
Scientists have speculated about evolution of birds ever since Darwin.

Early Archosaurs were quadrupeds but may have been able to run short distances on hindlimbs

Hypothesis mainly relies on presence of clavicle within pseudosuchians.
Birds also have clavicle but many of the more derived Archosaurs did not have a clavicle.
Hard to imagine structure lost and then reappearing

Concluded – birds descended directly from small theropod dinosaurs.
Recent use of phylogenetics indicates that not only are birds descendants of dinosaurs but theyonly are birds descendants of dinosaurs but they are in fact living dinosaurs.

Functional – ecological inferences
Strong agile biped
Originally suggested feathered wing used for food gathering
Now suggested for thermoregulation

Problems –
1) Dead end process – work against gravity
2) Need high speed to gain lift
3) C l ti f i t i b th3) Can selection favor improvements in both forelimbs and hindlimbs
4) Lacked trioseal canal!
