The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Tyrannosaurus is viewed as a model organism in vertebrate paleontology, with numerous studies analyzing its feeding biomechanics. Nonetheless, the evolution of this feeding performance has been under‐addressed in Tyrannosauroidea, especially in basal tyrannosauroids. Here we used muscle‐force reconstruction and finite element analysis (FEA) to

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.The largest silesaurid known from South America is described here, demonstrating that silesaurids reached large body sizes in southwestern Gondwana. This discovery further underscores the widespread geographic distribution and temporal persistence of large silesaurids across Pangea, despite faunal turnovers and environmental events such as the Carnian ...

Effects of Aquatic Conditions on Trap Structure in the Submerged Form of Drosera intermedia Hayne
PlantsCarnivorous plants possess highly specialized trap structures that enable the acquisition of nutrients from captured animals. This study investigated whether the aquatic environment influences the architecture of glandular emergences (tentacles) in the ...

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Triassic pseudosuchians had highly diversified cranial morphologies. These archosaurs occupied diverse ecological roles, ranging from terrestrial predators and herbivores to semiaquatic ambush predators and possible waders. Here, we apply linear cranial morphometrics to assess possible convergences with other sauropsids from the clades ...

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Prozostrodon brasiliensis, a probainognathian cynodont of the clade Prozostrodontia, is recognized as a key taxon for understanding the origin of Mammaliaformes and mammals. Despite detailed investigations of its cranial anatomy, the postcranial skeleton has received comparatively less attention.
