Molecular phyloecology suggests a trophic shift concurrent with the evolution of the first birds

Yonghua Wu applies recently developed molecular phyloecological methods to identify a trophic shift from carnivory to herbivory in the earliest birds. Predation pressure from becoming low-level consumers may have stimulated the evolution of powered flight as an anti-predator strategy against gliding...
