Hindlimb functional morphology and locomotor biomechanics of the small Late Triassic pseudosuchian reptile Gracilisuchus stipanicicorum (Archosauria: Gracilisuchidae)

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
A three‐dimensional biomechanical model of the musculoskeletal system is used to analyse the potential locomotor functions of the small (~1 kg) Late Triassic archosaurian reptile Gracilisuchus stipanicicorum. The study finds that, potentially like the ancestral archosaur, this taxon was probably quadrupedal, plantigrade and neither strongly sprawling ...

New perspectives on head and neck allometry and ecomorphology in tetrapods

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 2, Page 665-694, April 2026.
ABSTRACT The skull and neck are vital parts of the body, influencing feeding ecology, habitat exploitation and locomotion. Numerous studies have therefore sought to understand how the size of these segments vary with ecology and scale with overall body size.

A well-preserved vertebra provides new insights into rebbachisaurid sauropod caudal anatomical and pneumatic features [PDF]

Acta Palaeontologica Polonica
Rebbachisauridae is a clade of sauropod dinosaurs whose maximum diversification and abundance are known from the Cretaceous of South America. We describe an anterior caudal vertebra, MDPA-Pv 007, from the Upper Cretaceous of Argentine Patagonia, whose ...

A re-evaluation of the enigmatic dinosauriform Caseosaurus crosbyensis from the Late Triassic of Texas, USA and its implications for early dinosaur evolution [PDF]

Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, 2018
The holotype specimen of the Late Triassic dinosauriform Caseosaurus crosbyensis is redescribed and evaluated phylogenetically for the first time, providing new anatomical information and data on the earliest dinosaurs and their evolution within the ...

Braincase anatomy and palaeoneurology of Venetoraptor gassenae, a lagerpetid pterosauromorph from the Late Triassic of southern Brazil

Palaeontology, Volume 69, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Abstract There is a growing consensus that pterosaurs and the flightless Lagerpetidae are closely related. This relationship is supported by apomorphies throughout the skeleton, including endocranial character states such as a well‐developed floccular fossa and a tall anterior semicircular canal. Our knowledge of lagerpetid anatomy has been improved by

Silesaurid (Archosauria: Dinosauriformes) remains from the base of the Dockum Group (Late Triassic: Otischalkian) of Texas provide new insights to the North American record of dinosauriforms

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 2, Page 293-313, February 2026.
Abstract Silesaurids (Archosauria: Dinosauriformes) are found in Middle to Upper Triassic deposits across Pangea, but few stratigraphic sections record the evolution of the group in one geographic area over millions of years. Here, we describe silesaurid remains from the oldest of the Upper Triassic stratigraphic sequence from the base of the Dockum ...

Semantic primitives and compositionality: An Annual Review of Information Science and Technology (ARIST) paper

Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology, Volume 77, Issue 1, Page 198-223, January 2026.
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.

Semicircular canal morphology in Rodentia and its relationship to locomotion

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 247, Issue 5, Page 953-969, November 2025.
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

Eggshell geochemistry reveals ancestral metabolic thermoregulation in Dinosauria

Science Advances, 2020
All major groups of Mesozoic dinosaurs exhibited metabolically mediated thermoregulation based on clumped isotopes in eggshells. Studying the origin of avian thermoregulation is complicated by a lack of reliable methods for measuring body temperatures in
