Anatomy, ontogeny, and phylogeny of coelophysoid theropods [PDF]
, 2005 textCoelophysoid theropods (Dinosauria: Saurischia) were viewed as members of Ceratosauria in early cladistic phylogenetic hypotheses, but more recent analyses placed Coelophysoidea and Dilophosaurus as successively closer outgroups to Neotheropoda ...

Skeletal pathologies in extant crocodilians as a window into the paleopathology of fossil archosaurs
The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 10, Page 2698-2724, October 2026.Abstract Crocodilians, together with birds, are the only extant relatives to many extinct archosaur groups, making them highly important for interpreting paleopathological conditions in a phylogenetic disease bracketing model. Despite this, comprehensive data on osteopathologies in crocodilians remain scarce.

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 10, Page 2739-2751, October 2026.Abstract Pterosaur dental biology remains poorly understood despite its importance for comprehending feeding strategies and flight adaptations. Here, we present the first comprehensive histological analysis of an ornithocheiriform pterosaur tooth from the Lower Cretaceous Crato Formation (Santana Group, Northeast Brazil).

Evidence for avian intrathoracic air sacs in a new predatory dinosaur from Argentina.
PLoS ONE, 2008 BackgroundLiving birds possess a unique heterogeneous pulmonary system composed of a rigid, dorsally-anchored lung and several compliant air sacs that operate as bellows, driving inspired air through the lung.
