Therizinosauroidea (Dinosauria: Theropoda) from the Upper Cretaceous of Uzbekistan [PDF]
Cretaceous Research, 2016 Abstract Skeletal remains of indeterminate therizinosauroid dinosaurs are present in the Cenomanian Khodzhakul Formation and common in the Turonian Bissekty Formation of Uzbekistan. At least two taxa are present in the Bissekty Formation based on different frontal and humerus morphotypes.

Patterns of variation in fleshy diaspore size and abundance from Late Triassic–Oligocene
Biological Reviews, Volume 99, Issue 2, Page 430-457, April 2024.ABSTRACT Vertebrate‐mediated seed dispersal is a common attribute of many living plants, and variation in the size and abundance of fleshy diaspores is influenced by regional climate and by the nature of vertebrate seed dispersers among present‐day floras.

First record of Megaraptora (Theropoda, Neovenatoridae) from Brazil
Comptes Rendus Palevol, 2012 Abstract An isolated caudal vertebral centrum of a theropod dinosaur was discovered in the Bauru Basin (Late Cretaceous) of Brazil, in the Maastrichtian Sao Jose do Rio Preto Formation. The vertebral centrum has pneumatic features that are similar to those in the megaraptoran theropods Aerosteon , Megaraptor , and Orkoraptor .

The dentition of Megalosauridae (Theropoda: Dinosauria) [PDF]
Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, 2014 Theropod teeth are particularly abundant in the fossil record and frequently reported in the literature. Yet, the dentition of many theropods has not been described comprehensively, omitting details on the denticle shape, crown ornamentations and enamel texture.

Journal of Comparative Neurology, Volume 532, Issue 3, March 2024.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.

Morphological Variations within the Ontogeny of Deinonychus antirrhopus (Theropoda, Dromaeosauridae)
PLOS ONE, 2015 This research resulted from the determination that MCZ 8791 is a specimen of Deinonychus antirrhopus between one and two years of age and that the morphological variations within particular growth stages of this taxon have yet to be described. The primary goal of the research is to identify ontogenetic variations in this taxon.
