Morphological diversity of webbed feet in birds. (A) Simplified illustrations showing webbed foot types in birds. (B) Phylogenetic position of the waterbird taxa that possess webbed feet within the modern birds (Neornithes). Illustrations of avian feet in (A) were prepared by authors after modification of those in Evans (2016)49. Phylogenetic tree in (B) was prepared by authors using Mesquite 3.0138.
