| Nature Verified
Abstract The subpectoral diverticulum (SPD) is an extension of the respiratory system in birds that is located between the primary muscles responsible for flapping the wing1,2.

A new Heterodontosaurus specimen elucidates the unique ventilatory macroevolution of ornithischian dinosaurs
