The endocranial morphology and inner ear of the abelisaurid theropod Aucasaurus garridoi [PDF]
A partial cranial endocast and right inner ear of the Cretaceous abelisaurid dinosaur Aucasaurus garridoi were digitally reconstructed from CT scans.

Paleobiogeographic evolution and distribution of Carcharodontosauridae (Dinosauria, Theropoda) during the middle Cretaceous of North Africa [PDF]
Over the last few decades, the systematics and evolution of carcharodontosaurids, a group of large predatory dinosaurs, from North Africa have been better understood mainly due the discovery of new species.

The phylogeny of Tetanurae (Dinosauria: Theropoda)
Tetanuran theropods represent the majority of Mesozoic predatory dinosaur diversity and the lineage leading to extant Aves. Thus their history is relevant to understanding the evolution of dinosaur diversity, Mesozoic terrestrial ecosystems, and modern birds.

Eggshell geochemistry reveals ancestral metabolic thermoregulation in Dinosauria [PDF]
All major groups of Mesozoic dinosaurs exhibited metabolically mediated thermoregulation based on clumped isotopes in eggshells.

Abstract A subadult Moschognathus whaitsi from the Eastern Cape Province, South Africa, was scanned using synchrotron radiation X‐ray computed tomography (SRXCT). Its subadult state allowed the cranial bones and teeth to be identified and individually reconstructed in 3D.

Abstract Dinosaurs evolved a unique respiratory system with air sacs that contributed to their evolutionary success. Postcranial skeletal pneumaticity (PSP) has been used to infer the presence of air sac systems in some fossil archosaurs. While unambiguous evidence of PSP is well documented in pterosaurs and post‐Carnian saurischians, it remains absent

Body temperatures in dinosaurs: what can growth curves tell us? [PDF]
To estimate the body temperature (BT) of seven dinosaurs Gillooly, Alleen, and Charnov (2006) used an equation that predicts BT from the body mass and maximum growth rate (MGR) with the latter preserved in ontogenetic growth trajectories (BT-equation ...

Abstract The term semantic primitives refers to a set of basic, atomic concepts from which all other (compound) concepts are constructed. It presupposes the principle of compositionality—the idea that complex items or expressions can be formed by combining simpler constituents.

Dinosaurs The dinosaur faunas of the Fruitland and Kirtland Formations were first described in detail by Gilmore (1916), who based his study on specimens collected by Bauer and Reeside. Subsequently, the collections of Charles Sternberg were described by Wiman(1930, 1931, 1932, 1933), Osborn (1923), Gilmore (1935) and Ostrom (1960, 1961).

Semicircular canal morphology in Rodentia and its relationship to locomotion
Here, we present a selection of rodent inner ear 3D models in the lateral view, with rodents from seven locomotor categories (left to right: fossorial, semifossorial, semiaquatic, terrestrial, ricochetal, arboreal, and gliding). Semicircular canal (SCC) morphology, including radius of curvature and shape, can be differentiated between specialized forms
