摘要:
The occurrence of villi (outgrowths, projections) on the bases of the basalmost downy barbulcs of breast‐feathers is documented with scanning electron microscopy. The presence of these structures is thought to constitute a synapomorphic character for Passeriformes, Trochilidac, Capitonidac, Indicatoridae, Ramphastidae, and Picidae, which once more casts suspicion on the monophylv of Wetmore's order Piciforme
