Basal paravian functional anatomy illuminated by high-detail body outline [PDF]
Body shape is a fundamental expression of organismal biology, but its quantitative reconstruction in fossil vertebrates is rare. Due to the absence of fossilized soft tissue evidence, the functional consequences of basal paravian body shape and its ...

Cranial ontogenetic variation in early saurischians and the role of heterochrony in the diversification of predatory dinosaurs [PDF]
Non-avian saurischian skulls underwent at least 165 million years of evolution and shapes varied from elongated skulls, such as in the theropod Coelophysis, to short and box-shaped skulls, such as in the sauropod Camarasaurus.

Feather development genes and associated regulatory innovation predate the origin of Dinosauria [PDF]
The evolution of avian feathers have recently been illuminated by fossils and the identification of genes involved in feather patterning and morphogenesis. However, molecular studies have focused mainly on protein-coding genes. Using comparative genomics

We describe †Cretovelona orussopteryx n. gen. & sp. from Kachin amber. The fossil is examined with synchrotron scanning and integrated into an existing morphological data set for Orussoidea. This fossil parasitoid wasp displays a unique character combination demonstrating intermediate conditions in evolving the complex features employed in echo ...

A non-archaeopterygid avialan theropod from the Late Jurassic of southern Germany. [PDF]
The Late Jurassic 'Solnhofen Limestones' are famous for their exceptionally preserved fossils, including the urvogel Archaeopteryx, which has played a pivotal role in the discussion of bird origins.

De l’exclusion à l’exil Les Paravents , de Jean Genet
En 1983, au terme de sa vie, Jean Genet confie à Layla Shahid : « j’ai été écrasé par le concept de France ». Très précise, la formule apporte un éclairage rétrospectif remarquable sur sa trajectoire personnelle et, par conséquent, sur son œuvre : ce qu’elle place au premier plan, ce n’est pas son exclusion de et par la communauté qui l’a vu naître ...

Intraskeletal histovariability, allometric growth patterns, and their functional implications in bird-like dinosaurs [PDF]
With their elongated forelimbs and variable aerial skills, paravian dinosaurs, a clade also comprising modern birds, are in the hotspot of vertebrate evolutionary research.

New theropod dinosaur from the Upper Cretaceous of Patagonia sheds light on the paravian radiation in Gondwana [PDF]
The fossil record of basal paravians in Gondwana is still poorly known, being limited to the Cretaceous unenlagiids from South America and the problematic Rahonavis from Madagascar.

Cranial osteology and palaeobiology of the Early Cretaceous bird Jeholornis prima (Aves: Jeholornithiformes) [PDF]
Jeholornis is a representative of the earliest-diverging bird lineages, providing important evidence of anatomical transitions involved in bird origins. Although ~100 specimens have been reported, its cranial morphology remains poorly documented owing to
