Anatomically grounded estimation of hindlimb muscle sizes in Archosauria
Journal of Anatomy, 2022 AbstractIn vertebrates, active movement is driven by muscle forces acting on bones, either directly or through tendinous insertions. There has been much debate over how muscle size and force are reflected by the muscular attachment areas (AAs). Here we investigate the relationship between the physiological cross‐sectional area (PCSA), a proxy for the ...

Cocodrilos (Archosauria: Crocodylia) de la región neotropical
Biota Colombiana, 2000 Crocodylia [Gmelin, 1789], originalmente Crocodili, es un orden con distribución circuntropical, aunque algunas especies actualmente ocupan áreas cálidas de la zona temperada. Los cocodrilos vivientes tienen sus ancestros en los protosuchios del triásico

Acta Herpetologica, 2020 Two groups of extant Archosauria, Crocodylia and Neornithes, have two-chambered stomachs and store gastroliths inside their “gizzards”. Morphological similarities of the “gizzards” lead some previous studies to assume that the presence of this structure,

Royal Society Open Science, 2022 The Manda Beds of southwest Tanzania have yielded key insights into the early evolutionary radiation of archosaurian reptiles. Many key archosaur specimens were collected from the Manda Beds in the 1930s and 1960s, but until recently, few of these had ...

Systematics of putative euparkeriids (Diapsida: Archosauriformes) from the Triassic of China [PDF]
PeerJ, 2014 The South African species Euparkeria capensis is of great importance for understanding the early radiation of archosauromorphs (including archosaurs) following the Permo–Triassic mass extinction, as most phylogenetic analyses place it as the sister taxon

The osteology and phylogenetic position of the loricatan (Archosauria: Pseudosuchia) Heptasuchus clarki, from the ?Mid-Upper Triassic, southeastern Big Horn Mountains, Central Wyoming (USA) [PDF]
PeerJ, 2020 Loricatan pseudosuchians (known as “rauisuchians”) typically consist of poorly understood fragmentary remains known worldwide from the Middle Triassic to the end of the Triassic Period.

The phylogenetic relationships of basal archosauromorphs, with an emphasis on the systematics of proterosuchian archosauriforms [PDF]
PeerJ, 2016 The early evolution of archosauromorphs during the Permo-Triassic constitutes an excellent empirical case study to shed light on evolutionary radiations in deep time and the timing and processes of recovery of terrestrial faunas after a mass extinction ...

Evolution of Diversity in the Auditory Papillae of Reptiles
Diversity, 2023 The independent origins of middle ears in testudinates, lepidosaurs, and archosaurs in the Triassic led to lineage-specific developments in their auditory epithelia.

A new occurrence of the Late Triassic archosaur Smok in southern Poland [PDF]
Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, 2018 Two isolated teeth, a dorsal vertebra, fragments of a humerus and femur, a fragmentary pubic “boot” and part of an ischium shaft, identified here as belonging to a large predatory archosaur were discovered in the Upper Triassic site at Marciszów near ...

Hindlimb biomechanics of Lagosuchus talampayensis (Archosauria, Dinosauriformes), with comments on skeletal morphology. [PDF]
J AnatAbstractLagosuchus talampayensis is a small‐bodied (~0.5 m long) Late Triassic dinosauriform archosaur from Argentina. Lagosuchus long has been a pivotal taxon for reconstructing the evolution of form and function on the dinosaur lineage. This importance is because it has a mix of ancestral archosaurian traits, such as a small pelvis with a mostly ...
