Pneumatisation and internal architecture of the Southern Cassowary Casuarius casuarius casque: a microCT study

Pneumatisation and internal architecture of the Southern Cassowary Casuarius casuarius casque: a microCT study

Cranial ornaments such as keratinous horns and bony casques are commonplace amongst birds and take a variety of diverse forms. Possible functions include display, thermoregulation, vocalisation and intraspecific combat, yet few hypotheses have been directly tested. Here we investigate the anatomy and mechanics of the casque of the Southern Cassowary (Casuarius casuarius), and test functional hypotheses using CT-based virtual dissection.

In particular, we determine the nature of pneumat... Read more
