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

Why do aquatic carnivorous plants prefer growing in dystrophic waters?
Acta Biologica Slovenica, 2012 The majority of aquatic carnivorous plants (ACPS; Aldrovanda, Utricularia) usually grow in shallow dystrophic waters. In these habitats, rootless ACPs usually grow together with rooted aquatic non-carnivorous plants (N-ACPs).

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 ...

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 ...

Are there carnivorous plants in the sea?
, 2020 3 figures, 1 videoWhether because of Audrey from Frank Oz’s musical Little Shop of Horrors, or because of The day of the Triffids of John Wyndham’s, or even because of the little venus fly trap plants sold in the flower shops, everybody knows what ...
