Plumage color patterns of an extinct dinosaur

open access: yes, 2010
For as long as dinosaurs have been known to exist, there has been speculation about their appearance. Fossil feathers can preserve the morphology of color-imparting melanosomes, which allow color patterns in feathered dinosaurs to be reconstructed. Here,

Osteology and Phylogenetic Relationships of a New Small Maniraptoran from the Upper Jurassic of Wyoming

open access: yes, 2006
A recently discovered small maniraptoran from the Morrison Formation of Wyoming provides new evidence for the placement of small Jurassic maniraptorans in theropod phylogeny. The specimen, WDC DML-01, is one of the oldest known taxa to be referred to the

Linking the evolution of body shape and locomotor biomechanics in bird-line archosaurs

open access: yes, 2013
Locomotion in living birds (Neornithes) has two remarkable features: feather-assisted flight, and the use of unusually crouched hindlimbs for bipedal support and movement.

Cladogram of Dinosauria showing the four-phase model for evolution of avian air sacs and lung ventilation within Theropoda.

open access: yes, 2013
Phase I (Theropoda), variable posterior extension of paraxial cervical air sacs. Phase II (Tetanurae), elaboration of cranial (clavicular) and caudal (abdominal) intrathoracic air sac divisions and subcutaneous diverticulae. Phase III (Maniraptoriformes),

Synchrotron scanning reveals amphibious ecomorphology in a new clade of bird-like dinosaurs.

open access: yes, 2017
Maniraptora includes birds and their closest relatives among theropod dinosaurs. During the Cretaceous period, several maniraptoran lineages diverged from the ancestral coelurosaurian bauplan and evolved novel ecomorphologies, including active flight,

Theropod (Dinosauria) diversity from the Potiguar Basin (Early-Late Cretaceous Albian-Cenomanian), northeast Brazil [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
The theropod record from the Cretaceous of northeastern Brazil is rare and consists mostly of isolated and incomplete remains, with only four species described.

A new theropod dinosaur («Prodeinodon» sp.) from the Lower Cretaceous of La Cantalera (Teruel, Spain)

open access: yes, 2003
We describe four theropod teeth from the Upper Hauterivian-Lowermost Barremian of La Cantalera (Teruel, Spain), characterized by the presence of denticles only in their distal edge, being the mesial one rounded. These two features suggest affinities with
