Multiscale Mineralization in the Leopard Gecko Eggshell

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, Volume 34, Issue 24, June 12, 2024.
This work presents a 3D investigation of macro‐to‐nanoscale ultrastructure in the leopard gecko eggshell. Diverse structures of hierarchical calcite biomineral exist across five unique levels (rosette, scute, corolla, nanosphere, and nanodomain), integrating with an array of organic fibers to form an eggshell assembly remarkably different from avian ...

A new abelisaurid dinosaur from the end Cretaceous of Patagonia and evolutionary rates among the Ceratosauria

open access: yesCladistics, Volume 40, Issue 3, Page 307-356, June 2024.
Abstract Gondwanan dinosaur faunae during the 20 Myr preceding the Cretaceous–Palaeogene (K/Pg) extinction included several lineages that were absent or poorly represented in Laurasian landmasses. Among these, the South American fossil record contains diverse abelisaurids, arguably the most successful groups of carnivorous dinosaurs from Gondwana in ...

Comparative cranial biomechanics reveal that Late Cretaceous tyrannosaurids exerted relatively greater bite force than in early‐diverging tyrannosauroids

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, Volume 307, Issue 5, Page 1897-1917, May 2024.
Abstract Tyrannosaurus has been an exemplar organism in feeding biomechanical analyses. An adult Tyrannosaurus could exert a bone‐splintering bite force, through expanded jaw muscles and a robust skull and teeth. While feeding function of adult Tyrannosaurus has been thoroughly studied, such analyses have yet to expand to other tyrannosauroids ...

Patterns of variation in fleshy diaspore size and abundance from Late Triassic–Oligocene

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 99, Issue 2, Page 430-457, April 2024.
ABSTRACT Vertebrate‐mediated seed dispersal is a common attribute of many living plants, and variation in the size and abundance of fleshy diaspores is influenced by regional climate and by the nature of vertebrate seed dispersers among present‐day floras.

Notes on Ceratopsians and Ankylosaurs at the Royal Ontario Museum

open access: yes, 2012
As part of my dissertation research and general research program focused on horned dinosaurs, I traveled to the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM, Toronto, Ontario, Canada) in the summer of 2006 for a few days of research. The notes were typed in Microsoft Word, and are presented in unedited format on the following pages.
