Whole‐body endothermy: ancient, homologous and widespread among the ancestors of mammals, birds and crocodylians

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 97, Issue 2, Page 766-801, April 2022., 2022
ABSTRACT The whole‐body (tachymetabolic) endothermy seen in modern birds and mammals is long held to have evolved independently in each group, a reasonable assumption when it was believed that its earliest appearances in birds and mammals arose many millions of years apart.

Early archosauromorph remains from the Permo-Triassic Buena Vista Formation of north-eastern Uruguay [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2015
The Permo-Triassic archosauromorph record is crucial to understand the impact of the Permo-Triassic mass extinction on the early evolution of the group and its subsequent dominance in Mesozoic terrestrial ecosystems.

Morphology of the temporal skull region in tetrapods: research history, functional explanations, and a new comprehensive classification scheme

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 96, Issue 5, Page 2229-2257, October 2021., 2021
ABSTRACT The morphology of the temporal region in the tetrapod skull traditionally has been a widely discussed feature of vertebrate anatomy. The evolution of different temporal openings in Amniota (mammals, birds, and reptiles), Lissamphibia (frogs, salamanders, and caecilians), and several extinct tetrapod groups has sparked debates on the ...

Molecular anatomy of emerging Xenopus left-right organizer at successive developmental stages. [PDF]

open access: yesDev Dyn
Abstract Background Vertebrate left–right symmetry breaking is preceded by formation of left–right organizer. In Amphibian, this structure is formed by gastrocoel roof plate, which emerges from superficial suprablastoporal cells. GRP is subdivided into medial area, which generates leftward flow by rotating monocilia and lateral Nodal1 expressing areas,

Description and etiology of paleopathological lesions in the type specimen of Parasaurolophus walkeri (Dinosauria: Hadrosauridae), with proposed reconstructions of the nuchal ligament

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, Volume 238, Issue 5, Page 1055-1069, May 2021., 2021
The fossilized lesions in Parasaurolophus walkeri comprise periodontal disease, fractured ribs, and myositis ossificans traumatica in a number of vertebral dorsal spines and in the ilium. The injuries appear to have been caused by one or more non‐threatening events. The discoidal overgrowth on the dorsal spines m ight represent a pathological correlate

Pseudosuchian thermometabolism: A review of the past two decades. [PDF]

open access: yesAnat Rec (Hoboken)
Abstract Pseudosuchia, one of the two main clades of Archosauria, is today only represented by some 20 extant species, the crocodilians, representing only a fraction of its extinct diversity. Extant crocodilians are ectotherms but present morphological and anatomical features usually associated with endothermy.
