Quadrate orientation and joint reaction force underwent correlated evolution during suchian evolution

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
The quadrate is the cranial bone of the nonmammalian jaw joint. The quadrate has long been hypothesized to mirror the direction of joint reaction forces (JRF) during feeding. This study uses 3D biomechanical modeling to reveal a striking evolutionary link between quadrate orientation and JRF direction, unlocking new insights into the dynamic forces ...

The histology of rhynchosaur (Diapsida, Archosauromorpha) ankylothecodonty

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Dental evolution is a major topic in vertebrate palaeontology and provides key insights into the evolutionary history of several amniote clades. This study investigates rhynchosaur ankylothecodonty within the broader evolutionary context of Archosauromorpha.

The wide gape of snakes: A comparison of the developing mandibular symphysis in sauropsids

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Our analysis explores the adaptations at the mandibular symphysis required to allow extreme lower jaw mobility in macrostomate snakes taking a comparative approach. Abstract The origin and evolution of snakes has been marked by the acquisition of many morphological and functional novelties, one of which is the possession of a highly kinetic skull ...

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
