How smart was T. rex? Testing claims of exceptional cognition in dinosaurs and the application of neuron count estimates in palaeontological research

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, Volume 307, Issue 12, Page 3685-3716, December 2024.
Abstract Recent years have seen increasing scientific interest in whether neuron counts can act as correlates of diverse biological phenomena. Lately, Herculano‐Houzel (2023) argued that fossil endocasts and comparative neurological data from extant sauropsids allow to reconstruct telencephalic neuron counts in Mesozoic dinosaurs and pterosaurs, which ...

Theropod dinosaur diversity of the lower English Wealden: analysis of a tooth‐based fauna from the Wadhurst Clay Formation (Lower Cretaceous: Valanginian) via phylogenetic, discriminant and machine learning methods

open access: yesPapers in Palaeontology, Volume 10, Issue 6, November/December 2024.
Abstract The Lower Cretaceous Wealden Supergroup of southern England yields a diverse assemblage of theropod dinosaurs, its taxa being represented by fragments in addition to some of the most informative associated skeletons of the European Mesozoic. Spinosaurids, neovenatorid allosauroids, tyrannosauroids and dromaeosaurids are among reported Wealden ...

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 ...

The European ankylosaur record: a review

open access: yes, 2015
Ankylosaur skeletal remains and tracks from the European Middle Jurassic to Upper Cretaceous are reviewed here. Whereas the Jurassic material assigned to four species are known mostly by isolated elements, the Early Cretaceous record is more complete ...

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.

Taxonomic utility of isolated ankylosaurian dinosaur teeth using traditional and geometric morphometrics with implications for ankylosaur paleoecology

open access: yes
The presence of a basal cingulum, fluting, and overall size have been used to differentiate nodosaurid and ankylosaurid teeth for decades. The taxonomic utility of tooth morphology in ankylosaurs, however, has not been quantitatively tested. In addition,

The origin and evolution of the ankylosaur pelvis can be approximated from this chronostratigraphic distribution of various pelves seen in dorsal view.

open access: yes, 2013
In the basal ornithischian condition, represented by Stormbergia (reconstructed), the ilia are near vertical plates of bone. In the earliest ankylosauromorph, respresented by Scelidosaurus, the dorsal rim of the iliac blade and postacetabulum have ...
