On the ancestry of feathers in Mesozoic dinosaurs. 330 $aFeathers are one of the most unique characteristics of modern birds and represent the most complex and colourful type of skin derivate within vertebrates, while also fulfilling various biological roles, including flight, thermal insulation, display, and sensory function. For years it was generally assumed that the origin of flight was the main driving force for the evolution of feathers. However, various discoveries of dinosaur species with filamentous body coverings, made over the past 20 years, have fundamentally challenged this idea and produced new evolutionary scenarios for the origin of feathers. This book is devoted to the origin and evolution of feathers, and highlights the impact of palaeontology on this research field by reviewing a number of spectacular fossil discoveries that document the increasing morphological complexity along the evolutionary path to modern birds. Also featuring chapters on fossil feather colours, feather development and its genetic control, the book offers a timely and comprehensive overview of this popular research topic. . 410 0$aFascinating Life Sciences,$x2509-6745 606 $aEvolutionary biology 606 $aPaleontology  606 $aAnimal anatomy 606 $aVertebrates 606 $aAnimal ecology 606 $aAnimal physiology 606 $aEvolutionary Biology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L21001 606 $aPaleontology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G39000 606 $aAnimal Anatomy / Morphology / Histology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L25015 606 $aVertebrates$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L25074 606 $aAnimal Ecology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19015 606 $aAnimal Physiology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L33030 615 0$aEvolutionary biology. 615 0$aPaleontology . 615 0$aAnimal anatomy. 615 0$aVertebrates. 615 0$aAnimal ecology. 615 0$aAnimal physiology. 615 14$aEvolutionary Biology. 615 24$aPaleontology. 615 24$aAnimal Anatomy / Morphology / Histology. 615 24$aVertebrates. 615 24$aAnimal Ecology. 615 24$aAnimal Physiology. 676 $a598.0222 702 $aFoth$b Christian$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aRauhut$b Oliver W.
