Todd L. Green Source Confirmed

OverviewAI-generated summary

Todd L. Green's research investigates avian osteology and developmental anatomy, with a particular focus on the cranial structures of various bird species. His work includes comparative digital reconstructions of species such as the Eurasian magpie (<scp><i>Pica pica</i></scp>) and the common ostrich (<scp><i>Struthio camelus</i></scp>), examining their cranial suture ontogenies. Green also studies the osteological comparison of casque ontogeny in palaeognathous and neognathous birds, seeking insights for understanding cranial ornaments in extinct archosaurs. His publications address variations in casque asymmetry in southern cassowaries (<scp><i>Casuarius casuarius</i></scp>) and species-specific casque shapes in the genus <scp><i>Casuarius</i></scp>, relating these to visual display. Furthermore, his research explores brain shape development in large-bodied, flightless ratites and utilizes Diffusible Iodine-Based Contrast-Enhanced Computed Tomography as a necropsy aid for avian respiratory disease. Green has co-authored six publications with Paul M. Gignac.
