Reconsidering the Avian Nature of the Oviraptorosaur Brain (Dinosauria: Theropoda). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 The high degree of encephalization characterizing modern birds is the product of a long evolutionary history, our understanding of which is still largely in its infancy.

Forearm Range of Motion in Australovenator wintonensis (Theropoda, Megaraptoridae). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 The hypertrophied manual claws and modified manus of megaraptoran theropods represent an unusual morphological adaptation among carnivorous dinosaurs. The skeleton of Australovenator wintonensis from the Cenomanian of Australia is among the most complete

Ontogenetic Changes in Endocranial Anatomy in Gorgosaurus libratus (Theropoda: Tyrannosauridae) Provide Insight Into the Evolution of the Tyrannosauroid Endocranium. [PDF]
J Comp NeurolChanges through growth (ontogenetic) in the braincase of the eutyrannosaurian tyrannosauroid Gorgosaurus libratus are discussed. Most notably, brain cavity endocasts of immature Gorgosaurus are found to more clearly show details of the brain morphology than more mature individuals, a finding that has implications for improving dinosaur paleoneurology ...

Ontogeny and miniaturization of Alvarezsauridae (Dinosauria, Theropoda)
Biological Communications, 2023 The ontogenetic status of the known specimens of alvarezsaurid theropod dinosaurs is revised. We present histological data that the holotype of Parvicursor remotus from the Upper Cretaceous Barungoyot Formation of Mongolia is not an adult individual, as previously thought, but a juvenile less than one year old.
