Figure 9 in A phylogenetic analysis of Diplodocoidea (Saurischia: Sauropoda)
Figure 9. Calibrated phylogeny of diplodocoid sauropods. Cross-hatched bars indicate Gondwanan affinities, hollow bars indicate Laurasian. Grey bars indicate 'old world' (Europe/Africa), white bars indicate 'new world' (North/South America).

Cautionary tales on the use of proxies to estimate body size and form of extinct animals
Reconstructing the body size and form of extinct animals is of vital importance to our understanding of macroevolution and palaeontology. This is often done using anatomical proxies where extinct species are known only from fragmentary remains. However, there are many limitations influencing the selection of proxy taxa that are frequently overlooked ...

The origin of an invasive air sac system in sauropodomorph dinosaurs
Abstract One of the most remarkable features in sauropod dinosaurs relates to their pneumatized skeletons permeated by a bird‐like air sac system. Many studies described the late evolution and diversification of this trait in mid to late Mesozoic forms but few focused on the origin of the invasive respiratory diverticula in sauropodomorphs. Fortunately,

Illustration of the endocranial doming, which can provide a proxy for the brain‐to‐endocranial cavity index, using the endocast of an adult of the iguanodont dinosaur Proa valdearinnoensis as an example. Abstract Although the brain fills nearly the entire cranial cavity in birds, it can occupy a small portion of it in crocodilians.

The influence of caudofemoral musculature on the titanosaurian (Saurischia: Sauropoda) tail skeleton: morphological and phylogenetic implications [PDF]
Due to their abundance, taxonomic and morphological diversity, wide range of body sizes and broad geographical distribution, titanosaurian sauropods were one of the most important Cretaceous herbivorous dinosaur groups.
