FIRST SKELETAL REMAINS OF HELVETICOSAURUS FROM THE MIDDLE TRIASSIC ITALIAN OUTCROPS OF THE SOUTHERN ALPS, WITH REMARKS ON AN ISOLATED TOOTH

open access: yesRivista Italiana di Paleontologia e Stratigrafia, 2022
The enigmatic marine reptile Helveticosaurus zollingeri, from the Middle Triassic Besano Formation of Monte San Giorgio, is known from three specimens found in Swiss territory. This paper describes the first skeletal remains of this taxon recovered from

A large aberrant stem ichthyosauriform indicating early rise and demise of ichthyosauromorphs in the wake of the end-Permian extinction [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Contrary to the fast radiation of most metazoans after the end-Permian mass extinction, it is believed that early marine reptiles evolved slowly during the same time interval.

Dimorfismo sexual en la proporción entre el segundo y cuarto digito (2D/4D) de Gonatodes albogularis (Gekkonidae) en Colombia

open access: yesPapéis Avulsos de Zoologia, 2011
La proporción entre el segundo y cuarto dígito (2D/4D) ha sido bien estudiada como un dimorfismo sexual que puede resultar de los efectos androgénicos prenatales sobre la expresión de los genes homeobox.

Osteohistology of hyperodapedontine rhynchosaurs from the Upper Triassic of Southern Brazil [PDF]

open access: yesActa Palaeontologica Polonica, 2015
The first osteohistological study focused exclusively on rhynchosaurs (non-archosauriform archosauromorphs), based on the hyperodapedontines Teyumbaita sulcognathus and Hyperodapedon sp., from the Upper Triassic of Southern Brazil, indicates a relatively

A new phylogeny of ichthyosaurs (Reptilia: Diapsida) [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Systematic Palaeontology, 2017
The largest phylogenetic analysis of ichthyosaurs to date is presented, with 114 ingroup taxa coded at species level. Completeness of the taxa included varied from > 98% to < 2%; 10 taxa were removed a priori using Concatabominations due to incompleteness and taxonomic uncertainty.

The origin of the turtle body plan: evidence from fossils and embryos

open access: yesPalaeontology, Volume 63, Issue 3, Page 375-393, May 2020., 2020
Abstract The origin of the unique body plan of turtles has long been one of the most intriguing mysteries in evolutionary morphology. Discoveries of several new stem‐turtles, together with insights from recent studies on the development of the shell in extant turtles, have provided crucial new information concerning this subject.

DIFFERENCES IN THE HINDLIMB ANATOMY IN THE TWO SPECIES OF THE LATE TRIASSIC DREPANOSAUROMORPH DIAPSID MEGALANCOSAURUS INDICATE HABITAT PARTITIONING WITHIN THE ARBOREAL ENVIRONMENT

open access: yesRivista Italiana di Paleontologia e Stratigrafia, 2023
Discovery of two different morphologies of the hindlimb in specimens ascribed to the Triassic drepanosauromorph diapsid Megalancosaurus led to the erection of two distinct species within this genus: M. preonensis and M. endennae.
