An early trend towards gigantism in Triassic sauropodomorph dinosaurs [PDF]

open access: yesNature Ecology & Evolution, 2018
Dinosaurs dominated the terrestrial ecosystems for more than 140 Myr during the Mesozoic era, and among them were sauropodomorphs, the largest land animals recorded in the history of life. Early sauropodomorphs were small bipeds, and it was long believed that acquisition of giant body size in this clade (over 10 tonnes) occurred during the Jurassic and

Inside a duck‐billed dinosaur: Vertebral bone microstructure of Huallasaurus (Hadrosauridae), Upper Cretaceous of Patagonia

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
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

Understanding the provenance and depositional conditions of Triassic sedimentary rocks from the Spiti region, Tethys Himalaya, India

open access: yesJournal of Asian Earth Sciences: X, 2023
The Spiti region, renowned as the Museum of Indian Geology, is a world-famous sedimentary succession containing well-exposed sequences from Neoproterozoic to Cretaceous age. In this study, Triassic siliciclastic sedimentary rocks of the Lilang Supergroup

Decoupling of morphological disparity and taxic diversity during the adaptive radiation of anomodont therapsids [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Adaptive radiations are central to macroevolutionary theory. Whether triggered by acquisition of new traits or ecological opportunities arising from mass extinctions, it is debated whether adaptive radiations are marked by initial expansion of taxic ...

Triassic origin and early radiation of multicellular volvocine algae [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2009
Evolutionary transitions in individuality (ETIs) underlie the watershed events in the history of life on Earth, including the origins of cells, eukaryotes, plants, animals, and fungi. Each of these events constitutes an increase in the level of complexity, as groups of individuals become individuals in their own right.

Revisiting a long‐overlooked skull: Implications for the distribution of Dinodontosaurus brevirostris (Kannemeyeriiformes) in the Brazilian Triassic

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Dicynodonts (Anomodontia: Dicynodontia) were one of the main groups of terrestrial tetrapods in Permian and Triassic faunas. In Brazil, the genus Dinodontosaurus is one of the most common tetrapod taxon in the Triassic Santa Maria Supersequence. This genus has a complex taxonomic history and is represented in the Triassic of both Argentina and
