Ontogenetic variability of the intertympanic sinus distinguishes lineages within Crocodylia. [PDF]
J Anat, 2023 We recognised the usefulness of the paratympanic sinuses in distinguishing major lineages within Crocodylia. 3D geometric morphometric approaches allow us to quantify the ontogeny and variability of the intertympanic sinus within one of the largest dataset of modern species, including one of the largest specimens ever scanned at such a high resolution.
