A new phylogenetic hypothesis of Tanystropheidae (Diapsida, Archosauromorpha) and other “protorosaurs”, and its implications for the early evolution of stem archosaurs [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 The historical clade “Protorosauria” represents an important group of archosauromorph reptiles that had a wide geographic distribution between the Late Permian and Late Triassic.

The early evolution of rhynchosaurs
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2016 The rhynchosaurian archosauromorphs are an important and diverse group of fossil tetrapods that first appeared during the Early Triassic and probably became extinct during the early Late Triassic (early Norian).

Growth patterns, sexual dimorphism, and maturation modeled in Pachypleurosauria from Middle Triassic of central Europe (Diapsida: Sauropterygia) [PDF]
Fossil Record, 2018 Bone tissue, microanatomy, and growth are studied in humeri of the pachypleurosaurs Dactylosaurus from the early Anisian of Poland and of aff. Neusticosaurus pusillus from the Lettenkeuper (early Ladinian) of southern Germany.

Intraorganismal Homology, Character Construction, and the Phylogeny of Aetosaurian Archosaurs (Reptilia, Diapsida) [PDF]
Systematic Biology, 2003 Character construction, the methods by which characters and character states are produced from observations of variation, is a crucial but poorly understood step in phylogenetic analysis. Alternative approaches are used in practice, but there has been relatively little investigation of their theoretical bases and analytical consequences.

EVIDENCES FOR A SEMI AQUATIC LIFE STYLE IN THE TRIASSIC DIAPSID REPTILE TANYSTROPHEUS
Rivista Italiana di Paleontologia e Stratigrafia, 2018 The paleoecology of the bizarre, long-necked tanystropheid diapsid Tanystropheus from the Middle and Late Triassic of Western and Eastern Tethys has been debated since the first discoveries.

The neodiapsid Thadeosaurus colcanapi from the upper Permian of Madagascar
Papers in Palaeontology, Volume 11, Issue 2, March/April 2025.Abstract The enigmatic neodiapsid Thadeosaurus colcanapi (Lower Sakamena Formation, southwestern Madagascar), sole species of the genus Thadeosaurus, is revised here. The attribution of 12 of the 21 referred specimens is confirmed, spanning all ontogenetic stages, and the anatomy of Thadeosaurus is redescribed in detail with comments on ontogenetical ...
