Biomechanical analysis of the legs of modern birds that hop to start flight, when applied to *Archaeopteryx* fossils, indicate that the proto-bird would have been able to launch itself using multiple hops. This supports a hypothesis that flight may have originated ground-up, possibly as a mechanism for predator avoidance.

Paleontólogos do Field Museum reanalisaram fósseis do Archaeopteryx, revelando detalhes sobre sua ecologia e comportamento. O estudo, que examina cinco espécimes, enfatiza a complexidade de sua locomoção e dieta, contribuindo para a compreensão desse ancestral das aves.

#Archaeopteryx (/ˌɑːrkiːˈɒptərɪks/ ⓘ; lit. 'ancient wing'), sometimes referred to by its German name, "Urvogel " (lit. 'Primeval Bird') is a genus of bird-like dinosaurs. The genus name derives from the Ancient Greek ἀρχαῖος (archaîos), meaning 'ancient', and πτέρυξ

A #mouth built for efficiency may have helped the earliest #bird fly
About 150M years ago, in a coastal lagoon in what is now Germany, the oldest known bird gobbled up food with a beak built for efficient eating.
Called #Archaeopteryx, the animal had a toothed beak, hooked claws for grasping or climbing and feathered wings that it used for gliding and short bursts of flight. It is the earliest #dinosaur that scientists also classify as a bird.

Some 150 million years ago, Europe was tropical — and mostly underwater. On one cluster of islands, there were unusual creatures. These were some of the earliest birds on the planet. For more than a century, #Archaeopteryx has been the only known bird genus from the Jurassic. Enter: #Baminornis

Discoveries in #Jurassic rocks reveal that #birds were adept fliers earlier than scientists realized.
Some 150 million years ago, in tropical land that is now Europe, there were unusual creatures that didn’t fit in with the rest of the #fauna.
These were some of the earliest birds on the planet: about the size of crows, with black feathers, and probably partial to eating insects.
They also didn’t look like modern birds.
They had teeth in their jaws and claws at the ends of their wings — features seen on no adult birds today.
These German animals were #Archaeopteryx, and they bore many traces of their #dinosaur ancestors.

My 25 years of palaeoart chronology...
Flight evolved independently in Dromaeosauridae, Archaeopterygidae, Anchiornithidae, Scansoriopterygidae, and whatever Rahonavis is. Here's Yi qi from DINOSAUR BEHAVIOUR, by Prof Michael Benton (published by Princeton University Press).
