Morphology and osteo‐histology of the weigeltisaurid wing: Implications for aerial locomotion in the world's first gliding reptiles

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
This study investigates the morphology and osteo‐histology of the wing skeleton of the world's first gliding reptiles, showing how it differs from those of extant gliding lizards, yet is also convergently similar. These findings pave the way for future biomechanical studies on the gliding locomotion of these emblematic fossil animals. Abstract The Late

Fit for purpose? Analysis of the relationship between skull, beak shape and feeding ecology in Psittaciformes

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Psittaciformes exhibit high levels of morphological diversity, particularly in skull and beak structure, previously linked to diet and body size. Although there were some levels of significance between diet and beak shape, body mass was a much stronger co‐variate. Diet is not determining beak shape within the clade.

First occurrences of Trionychidae (Testudines, Cryptodira) from the Miocene of Poland: Detailed cranial anatomy and biogeographic implications

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Fossil finds from three Middle Miocene sites in Poland reveal the northernmost known presence of trionychid turtles in Europe, tentatively identified as Trionyx cf. vindobonensis, suggesting a warmer climate that supported thermophilic species in Central Europe during this period. Abstract Modern trionychids (Testudines, Cryptodira) have a pan‐tropical

Comparative endocranial anatomy in the crocodylians Leidyosuchus canadensis and Stangerochampsa mccabei from the upper Cretaceous of Alberta, Canada

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Leidyosuchus canadensis and Stangerochampsa mccabei share endocranial features such as posterior projection of a neurovascular canal in the maxilla and a paratympanic sinus system most similar to those of small‐bodied and young extant crocodylians, suggesting that these pedomorphic features may reflect the ancestral crocodylian condition.
