Mesozoic-Cenozoic crustaceans preserved within echinoid tests and bivalve shells [PDF]
, 2015 Associations of crustaceans with echinoids (Echinodermata) and bivalves (Mollusca) are not uncommon in modern oceans. Here we record the occurrence of anomurans, brachyurans and isopods within echinoid tests and bivalve shells from the Middle Jurassic ...

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Dinosaurs evolved a unique respiratory system with air sacs that contributed to their evolutionary success. Postcranial skeletal pneumaticity (PSP) has been used to infer the presence of air sac systems in some fossil archosaurs. While unambiguous evidence of PSP is well documented in pterosaurs and post‐Carnian saurischians, it remains absent

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 ...

Metriorhynchidae (Crocodylomorpha: Thalattosuchia) del jurásico superior–cretácico inferior de la Cuenca Neuquina (Argentina), con comentarios sobre los moldes naturales del encéfalo [PDF]
, 2015 Los Metriorhynchidae fueron los únicos Crocodylomorpha con un estilo de vida marino pelágico. Relacionado con este estilo de vida, su peculiar plan corporal permite diferenciarlos claramente de los demás Crocodylomorpha.

Pangean (Late Carboniferous–Middle Jurassic) paleoenvironment and lithofacies
Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology, 2000 Abstract Six time interval maps were constructed that depict the plate tectonic configuration, paleogeography and lithofacies for Pangea from the Late Carboniferous through the Middle Jurassic. Generally, the individual maps illustrate the conditions present during the maximum marine transgressions of higher frequency cyclicity within the Absaroka ...

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Despite documented ecomorphological shifts toward an herbivorous diet in several coelurosaurian lineages, the evolutionary tempo and mode of these changes remain poorly understood, hampered by sparse cranial materials for early representatives of major clades. This is particularly true for Therizinosauria, with representative crania best known

Geosystems and Geoenvironment, 2023 The Northern Calcareous Alps in the Western Tethys realm were affected in Middle to Late Jurassic times by a mountain building process triggered by ophiolite obduction similar to that in the Inner Western Carpathians or Inner Dinarides.
