Tectonics, geology and origins of Te Riu‐a‐Māui / Zealandia
New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 68, Issue 4, Page 531-567, December 2025.ABSTRACT Te Riu‐a‐Māui / Zealandia is a 95% submerged, five million square km southern hemisphere continent that includes the islands of New Zealand and New Caledonia. For the last 45 million years (Ma) Zealandia has been cut by the Pacific‐Australian plate boundary which today changes character from a west‐dipping subduction zone in the north to ...

Review of the tetrapod skull–neck boundary: implications for the evolution of the atlas–axis complex
Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 6, Page 2435-2470, December 2025.ABSTRACT This review describes variation in modern and fossil occiput–atlas–axis complex anatomy of total group Tetrapoda with the aim of documenting the range of structural variation throughout their evolutionary history to establish grounds for comparison of the complex between tetrapod clades.

Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology, 2020 Ankylosaurs, dinosaurs possessing extensive body armor, were significant components of terrestrial ecosystems from the Middle Jurassic–latest Cretaceous. They diversified during the Early Cretaceous, becoming globally widespread. The Lower Cretaceous Wealden Supergroup (Berriasian–Aptian) of Britain has produced abundant ankylosaur material, with three

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 247, Issue 3-4, Page 643-664, September/October 2025.Abstract Ornithopods are an extinct group of dinosaurs that were particularly abundant and diverse in the Cretaceous of the Iberian Peninsula, and whose abundance in the Maestrazgo Basin has allowed numerous taxa to be identified over the last decade. Many of these fossil remains are still taxonomically indeterminate and require a more detailed study ...

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 247, Issue 3-4, Page 790-818, September/October 2025.A combined approach of osteology and histology was used to examine the cheek regions of dinosaurs. Strong evidence was found for a soft tissue in this region connecting the zygoma to the mandible, here named the ‘exoparia’. Abstract Unlike mammals, reptiles typically lack large muscles and ligaments that connect the zygoma to the mandible.

Hidden Armour: The Passive Protective Function of Caudal Osteoderms in Snakes
Journal of Morphology, Volume 286, Issue 2, February 2025.Well‐developed caudal osteoderms were discovered in shield‐tailed snakes (Uropeltidae). Dermal armour at the tail tip likely provides passive protection against predators, though roles in locomotion or phragmosis cannot be excluded. Our findings emphasise the functional and evolutionary versatility of osteoderms and highlight the need for further ...

Review of osteoderm function and future research directions
Journal of Zoology, Volume 325, Issue 1, Page 1-24, January 2025.Osteoderms are bone plates in the skin that occur in virtually all major tetrapod clades. Much has been speculated about their function, but many questions remain unanswered. This review provides an overview of the current state of knowledge and future research directions in this field.
