Feeding Mechanics in Spinosaurid Theropods and Extant Crocodilians
PLoS ONE, 2013 A number of extant and extinct archosaurs evolved an elongate, narrow rostrum. This longirostrine condition has been associated with a diet comprising a higher proportion of fish and smaller prey items compared to taxa with broader, more robust snouts ...

Phylogenetically‐Informed Crayfish Conservation in the Face of Climate Change
Animal Conservation, Volume 29, Issue 3, Page 274-284, June 2026.Crayfish are a vital part of freshwater ecosystems, yet one third of assessed species are threatened with extinction, and almost 90% are highly sensitive to climate change. In this study, we produced a phylogenetically‐informed species prioritisation for crayfish conservation and explored the impacts of projected climate change scenarios on crayfish ...

, 2016 Extant crocodilians are a highly apomorphic archosaur clade that is endothermic, yet often achieve large body sizes that can be subject to higher heat loads.

The wide gape of snakes: A comparison of the developing mandibular symphysis in sauropsids
Journal of Anatomy, Volume 248, Issue 6, Page 937-949, June 2026.Our analysis explores the adaptations at the mandibular symphysis required to allow extreme lower jaw mobility in macrostomate snakes taking a comparative approach. Abstract The origin and evolution of snakes has been marked by the acquisition of many morphological and functional novelties, one of which is the possession of a highly kinetic skull ...

The Crocodilians, Lizards, and Snakes of North America
NatureTHE eminent position held by the late Prof. Cope among workers on the taxonomy of vertebrates in the latter half of the past century is chiefly due to the fact that, as has been the case with Prof.

Conquering the crush: A novel tool for holding crocodilian jaws open
Wildlife Society BulletinCrocodilians have diverse snout shapes ranging from the long, narrow snouts of the Indian gharial (Gavialis gangeticus) to the broad snout of the American alligator (Alligator mississippiensis).

Sound localisation in crocodilians
, 2019 Les crocodiliens ont développé des capteurs très précis pour sonder leur environnement jusqu'à atteindre leur position de super prédateur. Ces capacités sensorielles sont primordiales en situation de chasse mais elles sont également nécessaires pour ...

The unique allosteric property of crocodilian haemoglobin elucidated by cryo-EM
Nature CommunicationsThe principal effect controlling the oxygen affinity of vertebrate haemoglobins (Hbs) is the allosteric switch between R and T forms with relatively high and low oxygen affinity respectively. Uniquely among jawed vertebrates, crocodilians possess Hb that
