Abstract With the development of dental microwear texture analysis (DMTA), there has been an increasing application of DMTA for dietary estimation in extant and fossil reptiles, including dinosaurs. While numerous feeding experiments exist for herbivorous mammals, knowledge remains limited for carnivorous reptiles. This study aimed to qualitatively and

Some infinite series summations involving linear recurrence relations of order 2 and 3 [PDF]
This paper extends known results of second and third order recursive sequences through extensive formulations of properties of the roots of their characteristic equations, some are old but most are new. They are applied to novel studies of Σₙ₌ₒ^∞ aₘₙ/10ⁿ⁺

Abstract A subadult Moschognathus whaitsi from the Eastern Cape Province, South Africa, was scanned using synchrotron radiation X‐ray computed tomography (SRXCT). Its subadult state allowed the cranial bones and teeth to be identified and individually reconstructed in 3D.

On some identities for the DGC Leonardo sequence [PDF]
In this study, we examine the Leonardo sequence with dual-generalized complex (DGC) coefficients for 𝔭∈ℝ. Firstly, we express some summation formulas related to the DGC Fibonacci, DGC Lucas, and DGC Leonardo sequences.

Prime generating Lucas sequences
The distribution of prime numbers in Lucas sequences was investigated by independently changing the initial values and the multiplicative constants in the recursive definition of the sequence. The prime distribution was obtained by counting the number of primes in the first 1000 terms of various Lucas sequences. It was found that both smaller seeds and

Abstract Walruses have been an important subsistence and cultural resource for humans and have been exploited for millennia across their distribution. This exploitation has contributed to severe declines in several populations and local extirpations.

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

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 ...

Skeletal pathologies in extant crocodilians as a window into the paleopathology of fossil archosaurs
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.
