Skeletal pathologies in extant crocodilians as a window into the paleopathology of fossil archosaurs. [PDF]
Anat Rec (Hoboken)Abstract Crocodilians, together with birds, are the only extant relatives to many extinct archosaur groups, making them highly important for interpreting paleopathological conditions in a phylogenetic disease bracketing model. Despite this, comprehensive data on osteopathologies in crocodilians remain scarce.
