New perspectives on head and neck allometry and ecomorphology in tetrapods
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 2, Page 665-694, April 2026.ABSTRACT The skull and neck are vital parts of the body, influencing feeding ecology, habitat exploitation and locomotion. Numerous studies have therefore sought to understand how the size of these segments vary with ecology and scale with overall body size.

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 3, Page 642-648, March 2026.Abstract This study investigates the occurrence of osteomyelitis in non‐avian dinosaurs, focusing on the Ibirá locality, a site with a high incidence of this pathological condition. We analyzed six new osteopathic sauropod specimens from the Upper Cretaceous of Brazil.

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 248, Issue 3, Page 541-578, March 2026.PSP in early‐branching sauropodomorphs probably evolved first in the neural arches of the posterior cervical vertebrae, expanding anteriorly and posteriorly along the vertebral column. The distribution of PSP in Late Triassic early‐branching sauropodomorphs does not appear to be correlated with body size.

Palaeontology, Volume 69, Issue 2, March/April 2026.Abstract There is a growing consensus that pterosaurs and the flightless Lagerpetidae are closely related. This relationship is supported by apomorphies throughout the skeleton, including endocranial character states such as a well‐developed floccular fossa and a tall anterior semicircular canal. Our knowledge of lagerpetid anatomy has been improved by

Complex neuroanatomy in the rostrum of the Isle of Wight theropod Neovenator salerii
Scientific Reports, 2017 The discovery of large, complex, internal canals within the rostra of fossil reptiles has been linked with an enhanced tactile function utilised in an aquatic context, so far in pliosaurids, the Cretaceous theropod Spinosaurus, and the related ...

Developmental patterns and variation among early theropods [PDF]
Journal of Anatomy, 2018 AbstractUnderstanding ontogenetic patterns is important in vertebrate paleontology because the assessed skeletal maturity of an individual often has implications for paleobiogeography, species synonymy, paleobiology, and body size evolution of major clades.

Mosaic evolution in an asymmetrically feathered troodontid dinosaur with transitional features
Nature Communications, 2017 Troodontids were theropod dinosaurs closely related to birds. Here, Xu and colleagues describe a new, feathered troodontid species,Jianianhualong tengi, dating from the Lower Cretaceous period in China that provides insight into troodontid mosaic ...
