OK here is a link to download PDF copy of this paper (âBird Origins Anewâ published in AUK - Jan 2013) _http://www.bioone.org/doi/pdf/10.1525/auk.2013.130.1.1_ (http://www.bioone.org/doi/pdf/10.1525/auk.2013.130.1.1) (thanks goes to Anthony up in Lubbock for providing me the title so I could make a search) No comments from me, I will withhold my opinion about this paper even that I fully support the theory - it is better when reader can have his/her own opinion. But I recommend to check this page: _http://people.eku.edu/ritchisong/feather_evolution.htm_ (http://people.eku.edu/ritchisong/feather_evolution.htm) And after that do some your own research checking Prum and Brush (different Brush) work if you find this problem interesting. Great stuff. BTW the feather evolution is the only subject of interest to me.
