Avian History through the Fossil Record
Published in Ecology & Evolution
We are pleased to invite submissions for this Special Issue of Fossil Studies, dedicated to new perspectives and advances in palaeontological research. Contributions addressing any aspect of fossil studies are welcome, including systematic palaeontology, palaeoecology, taphonomy, biostratigraphy, evolutionary studies, and emerging analytical approaches and technologies.
Research articles, reviews, and short communications are encouraged. Accepted papers will be published online as soon as they are accepted and gathered together in the Special Issue, increasing their visibility within the palaeontological community.
We warmly encourage colleagues working on fossil vertebrates, invertebrates, plants, trace fossils, and interdisciplinary approaches to consider submitting their work.

Guest Editors
Carolina focuses her research on the evolutionary history of fossil birds from Antarctica and South America, addressing patterns of diversification, adaptation, and extinction through geological time. Her work integrates comparative anatomical analyses, particularly osteology, myology, and paleoneurology, with studies of systematics and paleobiology. Morphometric approaches, functional mechanical analyses, and muscular reconstructions are employed to reconstruct the evolutionary history of avian lineages from the Southern Hemisphere, in close association with their paleoenvironmental contexts.
