Patterns of Development: The Altricial-Precocial Spectrum
Abstract
Since the Late Triassic, the time of Protoavis texensis (Chatterjee 1991), over 200 million years of evolutionary diversification of birds have resulted in about 8900 living species. Rather than there being a gradual and continuous diversification of birds, recent paleontological perspectives suggest that most avian lineages produced during the Mesozoic did not survive the extinctions at the end of the Cretaceous period and that most recent lineages arose in a second, almost explosive phyletic radiation during a relatively short period of IO million years in the early Tertiary (Chiappe 1995; Feduccia 1995).

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
