Hindlimb functional morphology and locomotor biomechanics of the small Late Triassic pseudosuchian reptile Gracilisuchus stipanicicorum (Archosauria: Gracilisuchidae). [PDF]
J AnatA three‐dimensional biomechanical model of the musculoskeletal system is used to analyse the potential locomotor functions of the small (~1 kg) Late Triassic archosaurian reptile Gracilisuchus stipanicicorum. The study finds that, potentially like the ancestral archosaur, this taxon was probably quadrupedal, plantigrade and neither strongly sprawling ...

Morphometrics of the Spinal Cord and Surrounding Structures in Alligator mississippiensis
Biology, 2022 Understanding the fluid dynamics of the cerebrospinal fluid requires a quantitative description of the spaces in which it flows, including the spinal cord and surrounding meninges. The morphometrics of the spinal cord and surrounding tissues were studied

Acta Herpetologica, 2020 Two groups of extant Archosauria, Crocodylia and Neornithes, have two-chambered stomachs and store gastroliths inside their “gizzards”. Morphological similarities of the “gizzards” lead some previous studies to assume that the presence of this structure,
