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]
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.

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]
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,

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]
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.
