Diuqin lechiguanae gen. et sp. nov., a new unenlagiine (Theropoda: Paraves) from the Bajo de la Carpa Formation (Neuquén Group, Upper Cretaceous) of Neuquén Province, Patagonia, Argentina [PDF]
BMC Ecology and EvolutionBackground Unenlagiine paravians are among the most relevant Gondwanan theropod dinosaur clades for understanding the origin of birds, yet their fossil record remains incomplete, with most taxa being represented by fragmentary material and/or separated ...

The endocranium and trophic ecology of Velociraptor mongoliensis. [PDF]
J Anat, 2020 We reconstructed the brain cavity and inner ear of Velociraptor to better understand its lifestyle and hunting abilities. We found brain structures that are present in modern birds, indicating an exceptional sense of balance and agility. The inner ear also closely resembles that of flightless birds, and Velociraptor had a similar hearing ability to ...

Redescription and affinities of Hulsanpes perlei (Dinosauria, Theropoda) from the Upper Cretaceous of Mongolia [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 Hulsanpes perlei is an enigmatic theropod dinosaur from the Baruungoyot Formation (?mid- to upper Campanian, Upper Cretaceous) of Mongolia. It was discovered in 1970, during the third Polish-Mongolian paleontological expedition to the Nemegt Basin.

Paravian Phylogeny and the Dinosaur-Bird Transition: An Overview [PDF]
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2019 Recent years witnessed the discovery of a great diversity of early birds as well as closely related non-avian theropods, which modified previous conceptions about the origin of birds and their flight. We here present a review of the taxonomic composition

Multivariate and Cladistic Analyses of Isolated Teeth Reveal Sympatry of Theropod Dinosaurs in the Late Jurassic of Northern Germany. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Remains of theropod dinosaurs are very rare in Northern Germany because the area was repeatedly submerged by a shallow epicontinental sea during the Mesozoic.

Iridescent plumage in a juvenile dromaeosaurid theropod dinosaur
Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, 2023 Colour reconstructions have provided new insights into the lives of dinosaurs and other extinct animals, by predicting colouration patterns from fossilised pigment-bearing organelles called melanosomes.

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 242, Issue 6, Page 1124-1145, June 2023., 2023 Spinosaurids were unusual large‐bodied tetanuran theropods with semi‐aquatic ecologies. The neuroanatomy of baryonychine spinosaurids has yet to be studied, and may inform about the early evolution of the spinosaurid brain and sensory capabilities. With unexceptional hearing and olfaction, baryonychine endocasts share morphological similarities with ...

Papers in Palaeontology, Volume 9, Issue 2, March/April 2023., 2023 Abstract Current research suggests that the initial radiation of maniraptoran theropods occurred in the Middle Jurassic, although their fossil record is known almost exclusively from the Cretaceous. However, fossils of Jurassic maniraptorans are scarce, usually consisting solely of isolated teeth, and their identifications are often disputed.
