Recent genetic data shows that Bycanistes is the sister taxon to ground hornbills , this clade having diverged from the rest of the hornbill lineage early on. [ 2 ]
In a 2012 molecular study, von Reumont et al. challenge the monophyly of Vericrustacea: they present four versions of Pancrustacea cladogram (figures 1–4), and in all four figures Remipedia is a sister group to Hexapoda, and Branchiopoda is a sister group to (Remipedia + Hexapoda). Thus, their data strongly suggest that Branchiopoda is more ...
Illustration of thirty-nine varieties of chicken (and one Guinea Fowl) . There are hundreds of chicken breeds in existence. [1] Domesticated for thousands of years, distinguishable breeds of chicken have been present since the combined factors of geographical isolation and selection for desired characteristics created regional types with distinct physical and behavioral traits passed on to ...
They have rudimentary wings with black feathers and six stiff, porcupine-like, quills in the place of their primary and secondary feathers. Kiwis are the smallest of ratites, ranging in height from 14 to 22 inches (36–56 cm) and weight 2.6 to 8.6 pounds (1.2–3.9 kg). [28] They have shaggy brown feathers.
For example, a 3.5 ounce serving of dark meat chicken with skin has more than twice the calories of the same serving of white meat skinless chicken. It also has 18 grams of fat, as compared to 2 ...
