Discrete and continuous character-based disparity analyses converge to the same macroevolutionary signa. A case study from captorhinids [PDF]
The relationship between diversity and disparity during the evolutionary history of a clade provides unique insights into evolutionary radiations and the biological response to bottlenecks and to extinctions.

The higher-level phylogeny of Archosauria (Tetrapoda:Diapsida) [PDF]
Crown group Archosauria, which includes birds, dinosaurs, crocodylomorphs, and several extinct Mesozoic groups, is a primary division of the vertebrate tree of life.

A new phylogeny of Stegosauria (Dinosauria, Ornithischia) [PDF]
The stegosaurs are some of the most easily recognizable dinosaurs, but are surprisingly rare as fossils. Consequently much remains unknown about their palaeobiology, and every new stegosaurian find contributes to our understanding of the evolution of the clade.

Secondary cartilage revealed in a non-avian dinosaur embryo. [PDF]
The skull and jaws of extant birds possess secondary cartilage, a tissue that arises after bone formation during embryonic development at articulations, ligamentous and muscular insertions.

Dinosaurs in decline tens of millions of years before their final extinction [PDF]
Whether dinosaurs were in a long-term decline or whether they were reigning strong right up to their final disappearance at the Cretaceous–Paleogene (K-Pg) mass extinction event 66 Mya has been debated for decades with no clear resolution.

III.—Saurischia and Ornithischia [PDF]
In 1888 the late Professor H. G. Seeley pointed out for the first time (Rep. Brit. Assoc. Adv. Sci., 1888, pp. 698–9) that Owens' order ‘Dinosauria’ should be divided into two great natural groups, especially on account of their pelvis. He called them Saurischia (=‘Theropoda’ + ‘Sauropoda’) and Ornithischia (=‘Orthopoda’).

Ornithopod diversity in the Griman Creek Formation (Cenomanian), New South Wales, Australia [PDF]
During the Early Cretaceous, dinosaur communities of the Australian-Antarctic rift system (Eumeralla and Wonthaggi formations) cropping out in Victoria were apparently dominated by a diverse small-bodied ‘basal ornithopod’ fauna.
