Exploring the diversity and disparity of rhabdodontomorph ornithopods from the Late Cretaceous European archipelago

Scientific Reports
The origin and early diversification of ornithopods, a major clade of ornithischian dinosaurs, remain poorly understood, with conflicting phylogenetic hypotheses regarding rootward neornithischian relationships.

Modelling marsupial mastication: The biomechanical bite model of the Linnaeus's mouse opossum Marmosa murina (Marsupialia, Didelphidae)

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
The marsupial masticatory apparatus has rarely been studied until recently, mainly in Australasian species. We therefore reconstructed the maximum bite forces of the South American Linnaeus's mouse opossum Marmosa murina using in vivo bites, specimen dissections, and 3D static equilibrium of the jaw muscles.

Systematics and paleobiology of fossil Crustacea. Preface

Revista Mexicana de Ciencias Geológicas, 2018
In recent years, the number of conributions and specialists on fossil Crustacea has grown around the world. In 2000, the First Workshop on Mesozoic and Tertiary Decapod Crustaceans was held in Italy, with the participation of many specialists, mainly ...

How is the third jaw joint in whales different? Diverse modes of articulation between the jaws of whales

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
This study conducts the first comprehensive morphological investigation of the mandibular symphysis in whales. Using gross anatomical observation and CT cross‐sectional data, we describe diverse joint morphologies across 74 extant and fossil cetacean taxa. Toothed whales exhibit unfused, partially fused, or fully fused symphyses.

The origin and evolution of air sacs in pterosaurs and their forerunners

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Pneumatized pterosauromorph vertebrae and their phylogenetic context. Abstract Although the existence of postcranial pneumaticity and the inferred presence of air sacs connected to the lungs are well established in Pterosauria, the origin of this system in pterosaurs remains unclear. We investigated skeletal pneumaticity in the Triassic pterosauromorph

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.
