“…Additionally, studies in most species support that the corneal periphery is thicker than the central cornea (Bergmanson, 2019, 2021; Collin & Collin, 2021; Coyo et al., 2015; Downie et al., 2021; Jones et al., 2007; Pinto et al., 2016). In most other avian species, considerably higher values can be seen than in the Common pauraque cornea (Chard & Gundlach, 1938; Collin & Collin, 2021; Gonçalves et al., 2016; Gonzalez‐Alonso‐Alegre et al., 2015; Liu et al., 2016; Montiani‐Ferreira et al., 2004; Moore & Montiani‐Ferreira, 2022; Moraes, 2018; Murphy & Dubielzig, 1993; Sokolenko et al., 2021; Werther et al., 2017) (Table 1). Species smaller than the Common pauraque have been shown to have thinner corneas, such as in the Anna's and Black‐Chinned Hummingbirds (Moore et al., 2019), and in the Japanese Quail (Mayakkannan et al., 2018) (Table 1).…”
