Endocranial anatomy of the earliest Cretaceous European neosuchian crocodyliform Pholidosaurus purbeckensis provides new evidence for the ecological evolution of Pholidosauridae

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
We present new insights into the internal cranial anatomy of the neosuchian crocodyliform Pholidosaurus purbeckensis, based on CT‐scan data of material from the lowermost Cretaceous Purbeck Limestone Group, southern UK. From the study of the endocast, we obtained new information on the phylogeny and the ecological evolution of the Family ...

Allometric patterns in Rhamphorhynchus muensteri and their role in the paleoecology, life habits, and taxonomic framework of pterosaurs

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
The Graphical Abstract ilustrates the different allometric pattern within different Pterosauria groups, highlighting how the allometry influences the flight and habits of Pterosauria. Abstract Pterosaurs were the first vertebrates to achieve powered flight, a result of various unique anatomical adaptations, and significant morphological diversity ...

Computed tomography reveals multiple origins of extreme caudal vertebral pneumaticity in sauropod dinosaurs

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Here, we present novel CT scan data of caudal vertebrae of six Middle–Late Jurassic sauropods, representing several eusauropod lineages. We synthesise these new data with a comprehensive critical appraisal of purported external and internal evidence for caudal vertebral PSP in Sauropodomorpha.

A description of dental microanatomy and implantation geometry in Chamaeleonidae

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
A reassessment of the dental histology in adult chamaeleons reveals the presence of periodontal ligament. Alongside alveolar bone and cementum, these tissues together constitute a compacted and remodelled tripartite periodontium. Our findings include the novel observation of plicidentine‐like protuberances of dentine within underlying bone.
