The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract A recent debate has emerged between Caspar et al. (2024) and Herculano‐Houzel (2023) on inferring extinct dinosaur cognition by estimating brain neuron counts. While thought‐provoking, the discussion largely overlooks the function of cognition, as well as partly neglects the difficulties involved in estimating neuron numbers, which according ...

Известия высших учебных заведений: Геология и разведка, 2019 New and specified data on the composition of the Triassic tetrapod assemblages of the Timan-North Urals region, the Mezen syneclise and the eastern part of the Moscow syneclise have been given. The succession of the Triassic tetrapod communities known in

BMC Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Neck elongation has appeared independently in several tetrapod groups, including giraffes and sauropod dinosaurs on land, birds and pterosaurs in the air, and sauropterygians (plesiosaurs and relatives) in the oceans.

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

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract The study of morphological evolution is fundamentally tied to ontogeny, yet studies of these heterochronic processes in the fossil record are rare. Fossils belonging to an ontogenetic series are difficult to assign to an ontogenetic stage due to inconsistent proxies for skeletal ages, challenging to taxonomically assign due to morphological ...

Evidence for multi-rifting in the Variscan–Alpine cycle transition: insights from the European western Southern Alps [PDF]
Solid EarthWe investigate the transition between the Paleozoic Variscan cycle and the Mesozoic–Cenozoic Alpine supercontinent cycle, both of which have played a pivotal role in shaping the central European–Mediterranean plate architecture.

Skeletal pathologies in extant crocodilians as a window into the paleopathology of fossil archosaurs
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Crocodilians, together with birds, are the only extant relatives to many extinct archosaur groups, making them highly important for interpreting paleopathological conditions in a phylogenetic disease bracketing model. Despite this, comprehensive data on osteopathologies in crocodilians remain scarce.

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract The ray‐finned fishes include one out of every two species of living vertebrates on Earth and have an abundant fossil record stretching 380 million years into the past. The division of systematic knowledge of ray‐finned fishes between paleontologists working on extinct animals and neontologists studying extant species has obscured the ...

On the age of Early Triassic Tupilakosaurus fauna of Eastern Europe
Известия высших учебных заведений: Геология и разведка, 2015 The composition of Tupilakosaurus fauna is adjusted. Land tetrapod assemblage from the Upper Sukhorechka Subsuite of the Buzuluk Depression is excluded from the fauna.
