Measurement theory and paleobiology
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2023 Measurement theory, a branch of applied mathematics, offers guiding principles for extracting meaning from empirical observations and is applicable to any science involving measurements. Measurement theory is highly relevant in paleobiology because statistical approaches assuming ratio-scaled variables are commonly used on data belonging to nominal and

Theropod dinosaur facial reconstruction and the importance of soft tissues in paleobiology
Science, 2023 Large theropod dinosaurs are often reconstructed with their marginal dentition exposed because of the enormous size of their teeth and their phylogenetic association to crocodylians. We tested this hypothesis using a multiproxy approach.

Ecomorphology and bone microstructure of Proterochampsia from the Chañares Formation [PDF]
Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, 2019 Proterochampsians are a South American endemic group of non-archosaurian archosauriforms with morphological characteristics recollecting Recent crocodilians, and therefore have been proposed as aquatic species. However, this has not been based on careful
