The variability of giraffe skull morphology
What does giraffe skull shape tell us about their development and evolution? Abstract Giraffe (Giraffa spp.) are among the most unique and charismatic extant animals, largely due to their distinct morphology. The evolutionary and developmental origin of ossicones is a key factor in giraffid biology, yet other features building their characteristic head

Programas de Investigación en Paleobiología y Teoría evolutiva
Se presenta una discusión del papel actual de la paleontología en el estudio de la evolución orgánica. Diferentes descubrimientos, tanto teóricos como empíricos, están cuestionando algunos de los principios básicos del paradigma neodarvinista.

Here, we present novel CT scan data of caudal vertebrae of six Middle–Late Jurassic sauropods, representing several eusauropod lineages. We synthesise these new data with a comprehensive critical appraisal of purported external and internal evidence for caudal vertebral PSP in Sauropodomorpha.

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

ABSTRACT The current diversity and distribution of species and populations have been shaped by the major climatic oscillations during the Quaternary. The brown trout (Salmo trutta) is a striking example of the strong effect of past climate changes on the evolutionary history of species, in fact, the alternation of glacial/interglacial cycles has led to

El Museo Arqueológico-Paleontológico Municipal de Rojales [PDF]
El Museo comienza mostrando la evolución paleogeográfica del territorio a través de los testimonios de infinidad de seres que vivieron en nuestra zona hace millones de años. Los grandes vertebrados son quizás los restos más espectaculares de la colección,

A three‐dimensional biomechanical model of the musculoskeletal system is used to analyse the potential locomotor functions of the small (~1 kg) Late Triassic archosaurian reptile Gracilisuchus stipanicicorum. The study finds that, potentially like the ancestral archosaur, this taxon was probably quadrupedal, plantigrade and neither strongly sprawling ...
