“…The dorsal surface had numerous pneumatic foramina, whereas a large, boat shaped keel was present in the ventral surface of the sternum. Pathak et al, (2017) reported that the sternum was quadrilateral strongly concave plate like in peacock and turkey, whereas it was rectangular in shape in duck and whitebreasted water hen. Wani et al, (2017) stated that the dorsal view of sternal body in Common Moorhen was roughly pyramidal.…”

“…The dorsal ridge was continuous with the craniolateral processes (Fig 3), in accordance with the observations of Nickel et al (1977) in fowl, pigeon, duck and geese. The cranial border was triangular in black kite (Tomar et al, 2011), peacock and turkey (Pathak et al, 2017).…”

Background: The sternum is one of the most important and characteristic skeletal elements in birds, highly adapted for flight and showing a diverse range of morphogenesis. The Asian koel (Eudynamys scolopaceus) is a member of the Cuckoo order of birds, found in the Indian sub-continent, China and Southeast Asia. The present study was carried out as anatomical data on the sternum of this species is scanty. Methods: Carcass of Asian koel brought to the Department of Wildlife Science, Madras Veterinary College, Chennai after the post-mortem examination was biologically macerated, cleaned, dried and morphological and morphometric studies were performed. Result: Gross morphological and morphometric data of the sternum of Asian koel was compared with other avian species. The sternum of Asian koel was large, broad, quadrilateral shaped and highly pneumatized bone with well developed sternal crest, craniolateral and caudolateral processes. These features provide protection to the viscera and facilitates superior flight.

“…The crested serpent eagle (Spilornis cheela) is a medium-sized bird of prey that is found in forest habitats across the tropical Asia. The sternum is an extensive bone, which forms the floor of the thoracic cavity and a greater part of the abdominal cavity of fowl (Pathak et al, 2017). The birds are referred to as 'carinates' and 'ratites' depending upon the presence or absence of a well developed keel on the sternum (Mc Lelland, 1990).…”

“…The birds are referred to as 'carinates' and 'ratites' depending upon the presence or absence of a well developed keel on the sternum (Mc Lelland, 1990). Several studies have been conducted on the sternum of bald ibis (Nejdet et al, 2002), emu (Jagapathi et al, 2007), ostrich (Sathyamoorthy and Ramesh 2006;Predoi et al, 2009), pariah kite (Tomar et al, 2011), spot-billed pelican (Sathyamoorthy et al, 2012), green-winged macaw (Sreeranjini et al, 2015), peacock, turkey, duck, white-breasted water hen (Pathak et al, 2017) and, Indian mynah, bulbul and sparrow (John et al, 2017). The information about the sternum of crested serpent eagle is scanty.…”

The present study was designed to elucidate the morphological characteristics of sternum of crested serpent eagle. The sternum was a thin, flat bone with a body, rostrum and keel. The body was quadrilateral plate with concave dorsal and convex ventral surfaces and four borders. Numerous pneumatic foramina were present on the dorsal surface. The ventral surface presented a large, boat shaped keel along its median line. The cranial border was convex and thick and two pneumatic foramina were present behind the cranial border on the ventral surface of sternum. The facets for coracoid bones were located just below the cranial border. The lateral border on either side presented six articular facets for sternal ribs. The triangular pointed cranio-lateral process was observed at the junction of cranial and lateral border on either side. The caudal border was convex and caudo-lateral processes were absent. Two distinct oval foramina were seen near the caudal border. The rostrum or sternal spine was smaller and located just below the cranial border of the body of the sternum. The sternum presented a well-developed triangular keel located along the midline of the ventral surface of the body of sternum.
