D modeling reveals that as bird brains grew larger, it led to changes in jaw muscles and joint mechanics—enabling the ...

Cranial kinesis allows modern birds to eat a wider variety of foods and use their beaks as multifunctional tools.

Scientists suggest that bigger brains in bird ancestors led to more flexible skulls, playing a key role in their evolution.

New research shows how physical changes in the skull affected the mechanics of the way birds move and use their beaks to eat and explore their habitats -- adaptations that helped them evolve into the ...
