Dinosaur biogeographic structure and Mesozoic continental fragmentation: a network-based approach [PDF]
, 2016 Aim: To reconstruct dinosaur macro-biogeographical patterns through the Mesozoic Era using a network-based approach. We test how continental fragmentation affected dinosaur macro-biogeographical structure and evolutionary rates.

Standing giants: a digital biomechanical model for bipedal postures in sauropod dinosaurs
Palaeontology, Volume 68, Issue 4, July/August 2025.ABSTRACT Here we explore the potential of sauropod dinosaurs to adopt a bipedal or tripodal stance using digital biomechanical modelling and finite element analysis (FEA). Seven sauropod species from diverse lineages and sizes were sampled, and 3D models of their femora were analysed under both extrinsic (body weight distribution) and intrinsic ...

A survey of dinosaur diversity by clade, age, place of discovery and year of description [PDF]
, 2014 Dinosaur diversity is analyzed in terms of the number of valid genera within each major clade, Mesozoic age, place of discovery and year of description. Aves (Archaeopteryx + Neornithes) is excluded. Nomina nuda and nomina dubia are not counted.

Revealing the use of dental indices to infer taxonomic variation in sauropod dinosaurs
Palaeontology, Volume 67, Issue 5, September/October 2024.Abstract Sauropod teeth are commonly categorized taxonomically by two well‐established measurement indices: slenderness index (SI; apicobasal height/mesiodistal width), which quantifies breadth, and compression index (CI; labiolingual width/mesiodistal width), which quantifies cross‐sectional circularity.
