The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 10, Page 2560-2573, October 2026.Abstract Last year, we challenged the view that large‐bodied theropod dinosaurs such as Tyrannosaurus rex resembled primates in cognition and behavior, a proposition made by Herculano‐Houzel in 2023. More recently, Jensen et al. have criticized our work on this topic, raising methodological and conceptual issues.

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 8, Page 1995-2048, August 2026.Abstract Despite documented ecomorphological shifts toward an herbivorous diet in several coelurosaurian lineages, the evolutionary tempo and mode of these changes remain poorly understood, hampered by sparse cranial materials for early representatives of major clades. This is particularly true for Therizinosauria, with representative crania best known

Diet of bird‐like troodontid dinosaurs: synthesis of a contentious clade
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 1760-1778, August 2026.ABSTRACT Troodontidae is a clade of small‐to medium‐sized maniraptoran theropods that mainly lived in Laurasia (modern Asia, North America and Europe) during the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods and are believed to have had a variety of diets. The uniqueness of troodontid teeth suggests that they diverged from the typical flesh‐based diet of non‐avian ...

The wings before the bird: an evaluation of flapping-based locomotory hypotheses in bird antecedents [PDF]
PeerJ, 2016 Background: Powered flight is implicated as a major driver for the success of birds. Here we examine the effectiveness of three hypothesized pathways for the evolution of the flight stroke, the forelimb motion that powers aerial locomotion, in a ...

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

Papers in Palaeontology, Volume 12, Issue 3, May/June 2026.Abstract Dysalotosaurus lettowvorbecki (Ornithopoda, Dinosauria) is a small‐sized dryosaurid iguanodontian known from various isolated remains collected from the Tendaguru Formation (Upper Jurassic, Tanzania). Micro‐computed tomography of a small individual encased in a block offered a unique opportunity to describe c.
