Re‐evaluation of a soft crested Edmontosaurin, with implications for hadrosaurid life appearance and diversity

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Hadrosaurid dinosaurs are generally regarded as “crested” or “non‐crested” depending on the presence or absence of a bony cranial crest. At least one supposedly “non‐crested” hadrosaur is known to have possessed a soft tissue cranial crest (or comb), based on an exceptionally preserved “mummified” specimen. Here we redescribe this specimen and

The skeleton of the green Iguana iguana (Squamata: Iguanidae) and its intraspecific morphological variation

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The green iguana (Iguana iguana) is an iguanine lizard with herbivorous and arboreal habits, whose distribution spans through South America, Central America to the south of North America. Although the genus Iguana is well‐known, the species still lacks a comprehensive and up‐to‐date anatomical study, particularly addressing the axial skeleton,

Loathsome Beasts: Images of Reptiles and Amphibians in Art and Science

open access: yes, 2007
The mythology and symbolism historically associated with reptiles and amphibians is unequaled by that of any other taxonomic group of animals. Even today, these creatures serve as icons - often indicating magic or evil - in a variety of media.

Growth dynamics, skeletochronology, and histovariability of the theropod dinosaur Berthasaura leopoldinae

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Osteohistological sampling on different bones of theropod dinosaur documents discrepant age record, growth, and metabolism. This could result unprecise paleobiological inferences if samplings are based on single bones. However, multi‐bone sampling can attenuate these discrepancies, helping to infer growth dynamics and physiology of these extinct ...

Reptiles

open access: yes
Abstract The class reptiles—lizards, snakes, turtles and tortoises, tuataras, and crocodiles—are a large (~11,000 species) and diverse group of animals. Reptiles include a wide variety of both terrestrial and aquatic species, and their sizes vary from a few cm to 10 m. This traditional class consists of all the recent, scaly amniotes that are

Endothermy, neuron counts, and other issues: Further remarks on neurocognitive evolution in fossil vertebrates

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Last year, we challenged the view that large‐bodied theropod dinosaurs such as Tyrannosaurus rex resembled primates in cognition and behavior, a proposition made by Herculano‐Houzel in 2023. More recently, Jensen et al. have criticized our work on this topic, raising methodological and conceptual issues.
