Dodo Evolutionby ~RSNature

Traditional Art / Drawings / Animals

An hypothetycal evolutionary lineage of the Mauritius Dodo Raphus cucullatus (bottom) and Rodriguez Solitaire Pezophaps solitaria (top). I always imagined the transition between the ancestor, an African Pigeon, to the final stage of these large doves. Did the family is polyfiltetic? Raphus solitarius isn't included, since it was in fact an ibis.

you forgot the last stage: Roasted Dodo!

Interesante.....de verdad crees que la familia Raphidae es polifiletica?

~RSNature May 5, 2007

Sim, não creio que depois de uma ave não-voadora ter evoluido numa ilha ter se movimentado para outra tão distante (pelo menos não um dodô).

Actually, the Nicobar Pigeon of Southeast Asia and Papua New Guinea is presumed to be the ancestor of the Dodo and Solitaire, after comparing mitochondrial DNA from remains.
Still, the Nicobar is a pretty big pigeon, being about 40 cm long.
