Feeding adaptations in Triassic Dicynodonts [PDF]
, 1978 Main articleThe Dicynodontia declined markedly at the close of the Permian, entered the Triassic with very few species and had a final burst of evolutionary success in the Middle Triassic, before being overcome by archosaurian competitors in the Upper ...

Redescription of the Triassic cynodont Cistecynodon parvus and reassessment of its phylogeny
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Cynodontia is an important subclade of Therapsida that first occurred in the late Permian. It includes extinct subclades which are the non‐mammaliaform cynodonts and Mammaliaformes, with the latter ultimately giving rise to crown mammals. The systematics of non‐mammaliaform cynodonts has been extensively studied and is relatively well‐resolved,

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract The middle Permian represents a critical interval in therapsid evolution, when gorgonopsians emerged as some of the first specialized apex predators within terrestrial ecosystems. Despite their significance, the early diversification of Gorgonopsia in Gondwana remains poorly understood due to scarcity and fragmentary material.

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.The largest silesaurid known from South America is described here, demonstrating that silesaurids reached large body sizes in southwestern Gondwana. This discovery further underscores the widespread geographic distribution and temporal persistence of large silesaurids across Pangea, despite faunal turnovers and environmental events such as the Carnian ...

Dentition and feeding niche of Endothiodon (Synapsida; Anomodontia). [PDF]
, 1995 Main articleThe cranial morphology and extensive dentition of the dicynodont therapsid Endothiodon are different from those of any other dicynodont and it clearly had a different feeding niche.

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 4, Page 864-911, April 2026.Abstract The trigeminus nerve (cranial nerve V) is a large and significant conduit of sensory information from the face to the brain, with its three branches extending over the head to innervate a wide variety of integumentary sensory receptors, primarily tactile.

The palaeoneurology of a new specimen of the Middle Triassic dicynodont synapsid Kombuisia frerensis
Acta Palaeontologica PolonicaThe pineal eye is a photoreceptive organ, sometimes called the “third eye”, housed within the parietal foramen of some ectothermic vertebrates (Eakin 1973; Quay 1979).

Dicynodont (Therapsida) bone histology: phylogenetic and physiological implications [PDF]
, 1993 The bone histology of humeri of a number of taxonomically well established and easily definable dicynodont genera is described and compared. The bone of Aulacephalodon, Cistecephalus, Dicynodon, Endothiodon, Lystrosaurus, Kannemeyeria and Oudenodon ...

A suture in time: The ontogeny of cranial suture morphology in mammals
Journal of Anatomy, Volume 248, Issue 3, Page 501-516, March 2026.Mammal cranial sutures are important indicators of the biomechanical and developmental pressures acting upon the skull. Across three prominent sutures dividing the vault of the mammalian skull, divergent patterns emerge both taxonomically and developmentally.
