The evolutionary history of the extinct ratite moa and New Zealand Neogene paleogeography

The ratite moa (Aves: Dinornithiformes) were a speciose group of massive graviportal avian herbivores that dominated the New Zealand (NZ) ecosystem until their extinction !600 years ago. Thephylogeny and evolutionary history of this morphologically diverse order has remained controversial since thei...
