A Jurassic avialan dinosaur from China resolves the early phylogenetic history of birds
The recent discovery of small paravian theropod dinosaurs with well-preserved feathers in the Middle–Late Jurassic Tiaojishan Formation of Liaoning Province (northeastern China) has challenged the pivotal position of Archaeopteryx regarded from its ...

Cranial osteology of the Early Cretaceous Sapeornis chaoyangensis (Aves: Pygostylia)
We describe the detailed cranial osteology of Sapeornis chaoyangensis based on information from previously described specimens and IVPP V19058, a specimen that was recently reported with regards to the palatal elements but not fully described.

Potential for Powered Flight Neared by Most Close Avialan Relatives, but Few Crossed Its Thresholds [PDF]
Uncertainties in the phylogeny of birds (Avialae) and their closest relatives have impeded deeper understanding of early theropod flight. To help address this, we produced an updated evolutionary hypothesis through an automated analysis of the Theropod ...

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 ...

The Impact of Unstable Taxa in Coelurosaurian Phylogeny and Resampling Support Measures for Parsimony Analyses [PDF]
Paleontological datasets often have large amounts of missing entries that result in multiple mostparsimonious trees. Highly incomplete and conflictive taxa produce a collapsed strict consensus andseveral methods have been developed for identifying these ...

A comprehensive description of the histology of 10 postcranial bones taken from Liaoningvenator curriei (holotype: DNHM D3012) is presented. Corresponding bone samples were sectioned to a thickness of 30 micrometres. The sections were then examined using

Theropod teeth have long been known from the Upper Cretaceous of Europe, but the 20 million years long interval spanning the Cenomanian to the Campanian has remained underrepresented in the fossil record and understudied.

Here we describe a new theropod, Bicentenaria argentina nov. gen. et nov. sp., from the early Late Cretaceous of Patagonia. It is represented by more than a hundred bones belonging to different sized individuals, which were buried together in ...

Enlargement of sternum traits facilitated the evolution of powered flight in birds [PDF]
An enlarged sternum with a prominent keel is a central feature of the flight apparatus of modern birds. However, sterna of near-bird dinosaurs (Pennaraptora) and early avialans are either substantially different from those of living birds or absent ...
