Pseudosuchian thermometabolism: A review of the past two decades. [PDF]
Anat Rec (Hoboken)Abstract Pseudosuchia, one of the two main clades of Archosauria, is today only represented by some 20 extant species, the crocodilians, representing only a fraction of its extinct diversity. Extant crocodilians are ectotherms but present morphological and anatomical features usually associated with endothermy.

Skeletal pathologies in extant crocodilians as a window into the paleopathology of fossil archosaurs
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Crocodilians, together with birds, are the only extant relatives to many extinct archosaur groups, making them highly important for interpreting paleopathological conditions in a phylogenetic disease bracketing model. Despite this, comprehensive data on osteopathologies in crocodilians remain scarce.
