Ontogeny and variation in the skull roof and braincase of the hadrosaurid dinosaur Maiasaura peeblesorum from the Upper Cretaceous of Montana, USA [PDF]
Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, 2021 Five new partial skulls of the hadrosaurid dinosaur Maiasaura peeblesorum from the Linster Quarry bone bed (Two Medicine Formation, Campanian) in Montana, USA, provide the basis for a description of the skull roof and braincase morphology of this taxon ...

Why tyrannosaurid forelimbs were so short: An integrative hypothesis [PDF]
Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, 2022 The unusually shortened limbs of giant theropods, including abelisaurids, carcharodontosaurids, and derived tyrannosauroids such as Tyrannosaurus rex have long been an object of wonder, speculation, and even derision on the part of both ...

A genus-level supertree of the Dinosauria [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B: Biological Sciences, 2002 One of the ultimate aims of systematics is the reconstruction of the tree of life. This is a huge undertaking that is inhibited by the existence of a computational limit to the inclusiveness of phylogenetic analyses. Supertree methods have been developed to overcome, or at least to go around this problem by combining smaller, partially overlapping ...
