Developmental Evolution: Downsizing Wings in the Flightless Emu.

Sergio G Minchey1, Douglas B Menke2.   

Abstract

The vestigial wings of emus are a striking illustration of morphological evolution. A new study points to reduced activity of an essential signaling pathway as a factor in the evolution of the emu's stunted wings.
