O’Connor, “Ecology and Caudal Skeletal Morphology in Birds: The Convergent Evolution of Pygostyle Shape in Underwater Foraging Taxa” in PLoS ONE IX, № 2: e89737 (publ. 26th February 2014), § 2: ‘Materials and Methods’, sub-§ 2.2: «Skeletal Morphology and Analytical Approaches»:
 * These metrics were collected at three serial positions within the caudal vertebral series. The first (i.e. post-synacral) free caudal vertebra, the vertebra halfway along the length of the caudal series, and the last (i.e. propygostylar) free caudal vertebra.
