- The mechanical (finite element) model evolutionary development (evo-devo) approach used in this paper was simulation driven and the first of its kind. The paper generated evolutionary hypotheses that challenged our understanding of the evolution of Neognathae (a wildly successful clade of flighted birds). This work was the product of a 7-year international collaboration between experimental biologists (Netherlands), theoretical biologists (US) and engineers (US/Germany). The results were shared in a leading interdisciplinary journal and have influenced studies on craniosynostotic in mice (https://doi.org/10.1111/joa.12764) and the cranial kinematics of rock doves (https://doi.org/10.1186/s40851-019-0129-z).
