Pre‐oviposition development of the brown anole (Anolis sagrei)

Developmental Dynamics, Volume 255, Issue 2, Page 145-167, February 2026.
Abstract Background The brown anole, Anolis sagrei, has emerged as a representative squamate species for developmental studies during the past decades. Novel functional tools have been established to manipulate embryogenesis through genome editing or the introduction of small molecule inhibitors, and their effective use requires a thorough ...

Osteology of a New Specimen of Macrocnemus aff. M. fuyuanensis (Archosauromorpha, Protorosauria) from the Middle Triassic of Europe: Potential Implications for Species Recognition and Paleogeography of Tanystropheid Protorosaurs

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2017
Over the past two decades, a wealth of marine and terrestrial reptiles, including protorosaurian archosauromorphs, has been described from Triassic shales and limestone layers in southern China.

Osteohistological signal from the smallest known phytosaur femur reveals slow growth and new insights into the evolution of growth in Archosauria

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 247, Issue 3-4, Page 556-575, September/October 2025.
The paucity of small, skeletally immature individuals representing the earliest ontogenetic stages of extinct archosaurs complicates our understanding of the growth dynamics within and between species. The opportune finding of the smallest phytosaur femora reveals slow growth, a surprising signal considering that larger phytosaurs in North America have

Biomechanical modeling of musculoskeletal function related to the terrestrial locomotion of Riojasuchus tenuisceps (Archosauria: Ornithosuchidae)

The Anatomical Record, Volume 308, Issue 2, Page 369-393, February 2025.
Abstract Riojasuchus tenuisceps was a pseudosuchian archosaur from the Late Triassic period in Argentina. Like other ornithosuchids, it had unusual morphology such as a unique “crocodile‐reversed” ankle joint, a lesser trochanter as in dinosaurs and a few other archosaurs, robust vertebrae, and somewhat shortened, gracile forelimbs.

The topological organization of the turtle cranium is constrained and conserved over long evolutionary timescales

The Anatomical Record, Volume 307, Issue 8, Page 2713-2748, August 2024.
Abstract The cranium of turtles (Testudines) is characterized by the secondary reduction of temporal fenestrae and loss of cranial joints (i.e., characteristics of anapsid, akinetic skulls). Evolution and ontogeny of the turtle cranium are associated with shape changes.

The postcranial anatomy and osteohistology of Terrestrisuchus gracilis (Archosauria, Crocodylomorpha) from the Late Triassic of Wales

Papers in Palaeontology, Volume 10, Issue 4, July/August 2024.
Abstract The earliest crocodylomorphs, known as non‐crocodyliform crocodylomorphs, first appeared during the Late Triassic. In contrast to extant crocodylians, which are all semi‐aquatic, early crocodylomorphs represent terrestrial taxa with a fully erect posture and in most cases a small body size.

I believe I can fly… New implications for the mode of life and palaeoecology of the Late Triassic Ozimek volans based on its unique long bone histology

Palaeontology, Volume 67, Issue 3, May/June 2024.
Abstract The small diapsid reptile Ozimek volans is one of the most enigmatic representatives of the Late Triassic fauna of Krasiejów, Poland. Phylogenetically, Ozimek was identified as a ‘protorosaurian’ related to tanystropheids, but the extremely elongated limbs and presumed gliding abilities are unusual for this group.

Braincase and neuroanatomy of the lagerpetid Dromomeron gregorii (Archosauria, Pterosauromorpha) with comments on the early evolution of the braincase and associated soft tissues in Avemetatarsalia

The Anatomical Record, Volume 307, Issue 4, Page 1147-1174, April 2024.
Abstract The anatomy of the braincase and associated soft tissues of the lagerpetid Dromomeron gregorii (Archosauria: Avemetatarsalia) from the Late Triassic of the United States is here described. This corresponds to the first detailed description of cranial materials of Lagerpetidae, an enigmatic group of Late Triassic (c.

The osteology of the Late Triassic reptile Scleromochlus taylori from μCT data

The Anatomical Record, Volume 307, Issue 4, Page 1113-1146, April 2024.
Abstract Scleromochlus taylori is one of the most enigmatic members of the herpetofauna from the Lossiemouth Sandstone Formation (Upper Triassic) of Elgin (Moray, Scotland). For many years it was thought to be closely related to pterosaurs and dinosaurs, but the anatomy of this animal is difficult to interpret because of the notoriously poor ...

A redescription of Trachelosaurus fischeri from the Buntsandstein (Middle Triassic) of Bernburg, Germany: the first European Dinocephalosaurus-like marine reptile and its systematic implications for long-necked early archosauromorphs

Swiss Journal of Palaeontology
Some of the earliest members of the archosaur-lineage (i.e., non-archosauriform archosauromorphs) are characterised by an extremely elongated neck. Recent fossil discoveries from the Guanling Formation (Middle Triassic) of southern China have revealed a ...
