Widespread distribution of large silesaurids evidenced by a new record from the Middle Triassic of southwest Gondwana

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
The largest silesaurid known from South America is described here, demonstrating that silesaurids reached large body sizes in southwestern Gondwana. This discovery further underscores the widespread geographic distribution and temporal persistence of large silesaurids across Pangea, despite faunal turnovers and environmental events such as the Carnian ...

Elliptic Fourier analysis as a tool for the taxonomic identification of isolated theropod pedal phalanges

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Studies of Upper Cretaceous deposits in North America have provided invaluable insights into the continental ecosystems of this time. Theropod (Saurischia, Dinosauria) pedal phalanges are commonplace in these deposits but can be difficult to identify at a finer taxonomic resolution.

Seasonal variations in the mechanisms of understory herb diversity in a temperate forest in Northeast China

Ecological Indicators
Herbaceous plants contribute greatly to plant diversity and play an important role in regulating the structure and functioning of forest ecosystems. Comparing with woody species, herbs exhibit higher sensitivity to seasonal changes from spring-growth to ...

New fossil unveils the dentary anatomy of the rare lepidosauromorph Cargninia enigmatica from the Upper Triassic of Southern Brazil

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Nowadays, Lepidosauria is a diverse group represented by squamates and the rhynchocephalian tuatara. However, their origins date back to the end of the Permian Period, when the stem lineages Lepidosauromorpha and Archosauromorpha diverged. Within the lepidosauromorph stem lineage, a few species have been described with unstable phylogenetic ...

Exceptional preservation informs the paleobiology of tapinocephalid dinocephalians

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The tapinocephalid dinocephalian Moschops is one of the most iconic taxa of the middle Permian, yet its paleobiology remains one of the least well‐known. Here, we address some aspects of paleoneurology and paleobiology of Moschops using CT scanning of four well preserved skulls from the upper Abrahamskraal Formation of South Africa. Two of the

Functional traits mediate seedling survival response to climate in a temperate forest

Fundamental Research
Functional traits are increasingly used to forecast the response of plant performance to abiotic and biotic conditions. However, it remains unclear how functional traits will mediate the complex responses of plants to interactive drivers in a rapidly ...

Evaluation of ecosystem dynamics, plant geography and terrestrial carbon cycling in the LPJ dynamic global vegetation model

, 2003
The Lund–Potsdam–Jena Dynamic Global Vegetation Model (LPJ) combines process‐based, large‐scale representations of terrestrial vegetation dynamics and land‐atmosphere carbon and water exchanges in a modular framework.

A new occurrence of tetrapod footprints from the Late Triassic of the Candelária Sequence, Brazil

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The Hyperodapedon Assemblage Zone of the Candelária Sequence (Santa Maria Supersequence, Paraná Basin) preserves one of the most significant Late Triassic continental vertebrate assemblages in southern Brazil. Despite the relatively well‐documented body fossil record from this interval, ichnological records remain comparatively scarce.
