Resumen

La visualización y análisis de los fósiles asistido por computadoras ha revolucionado el estudio de los organismos extintos. Técnicas novedosas permiten caracterizar los restos en tres dimensiones y acceder a detalles sin precedentes. Esto ha permitido a los paleontólogos ganar importantes conocimientos sobre la anatomía, el desarrollo, la función y hasta la conservación. Las reconstrucciones digitales se pueden utilizar en análisis funcionales y en la puesta a prueba rigurosa de hipótesis sobre la paleobiología de los organismos extintos. Estos enfoques están transformando nuestra comprensión de la vida en el pasado y también de los organismos vivientes en general. El empleo de técnicas no invasivas permite la captura de grandes cantidades de datos útiles sin dañar los especímenes que se están estudiando. Debido a que los datos digitales se pueden compartir de forma instantánea y global, equipos de científicos pueden trabajar en paralelo, acelerando el ritmo de las investigaciones. En este trabajo se ejemplifican casos en los cuales a partir de modelos virtuales se pueden abordar problemas morfológicos en aves.
