Embryology of the emperor penguin (Aptenodytes forsteri)
E. A. Wilson1 wrote in 1907, “The possibility that we have in the Emperor penguin the nearest approach to a primitive form not only of a penguin but of a bird, makes the future working out of its embryology a matter of the greatest possible importance”. With this aim in mind he set out on June 27, 1...
