Sea surface temperature contributes to marine crocodylomorph evolution [PDF]
, 2014 During the Mesozoic and Cenozoic, four distinct crocodylomorph lineages colonized the marine environment. They were conspicuously absent from high latitudes, which in the Mesozoic were occupied by warm-blooded ichthyosaurs and plesiosaurs.

The palatal dentition of tetrapods and its functional significance [PDF]
, 2017 The presence of a palatal dentition is generally considered to be the primitive condition in amniotes, with each major lineage showing a tendency toward reduction. This study highlights the variation in palatal tooth arrangements and reveals clear trends

Post-natal parental care in a Cretaceous diapsid from northeastern China [PDF]
, 2015 Post-natal parental care seems to have evolved numerous times in vertebrates. Among extant amniotes, it is present in crocodilians, birds, and mammals. However, evidence of this behavior is extremely rare in the fossil record and is only reported for two
