    The #dodo #Raphus #cucullatus (#Columbidae), lived on #Mauritius and was discovered during a Dutch expedition in 1598. This #flightless, ground-nesting #bird #diedout by 1690 due to introduced #predators, as it lacked #defensivebehavior. A research project aims to #recreate it based on its and the #genome of its closest living relative. D. Angst et al. (2017) found #ecological aspects from #bonehistology studies.
