Inside a duck‐billed dinosaur: Vertebral bone microstructure of Huallasaurus (Hadrosauridae), Upper Cretaceous of Patagonia

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 7, Page 1702-1712, July 2026.
Abstract Dinosaurs evolved a unique respiratory system with air sacs that contributed to their evolutionary success. Postcranial skeletal pneumaticity (PSP) has been used to infer the presence of air sac systems in some fossil archosaurs. While unambiguous evidence of PSP is well documented in pterosaurs and post‐Carnian saurischians, it remains absent

The early origin of Iguanodontia: new insights into the macroevolution, diversity and biogeography of the clade

open access: yesPalaeontology, Volume 69, Issue 2, 2026.
Abstract Iguanodontia (Dinosauria, Ornithischia) is a speciose group of herbivorous dinosaurs that include the famous genus Iguanodon, one of foundational members of the clade Dinosauria. Despite their very long history of research, several aspects of their systematic relationships and their evolutionary history remain somewhat nebulous.

Review of the tetrapod skull–neck boundary: implications for the evolution of the atlas–axis complex

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 6, Page 2435-2470, December 2025.
ABSTRACT This review describes variation in modern and fossil occiput–atlas–axis complex anatomy of total group Tetrapoda with the aim of documenting the range of structural variation throughout their evolutionary history to establish grounds for comparison of the complex between tetrapod clades.

Back from the dead: Thyreophora cynophila (Panzer, 1798) (Diptera: Piophilidae) ‘globally extinct’ fugitive in Spain

open access: yesSystematic Entomology, 2010
We report on a sensational find in central Spain of six specimens of Thyreophora cynophila (), a colourful, strange‐looking piophilid fly living on carcasses of big mammals in advanced stages of decay.

Metatetrapous valdensisNopcsa, 1923 and the Presence of Ankylosaur Tracks (Dinosauria: Thyreophora) in the Berriasian (Early Cretaceous) of Northwestern Germany

open access: yesIchnos, 2014
Metatetrapous valdensis Nopcsa, 1923 from the late Berriasian of northwestern Germany was the first dinosaur ichnotaxon ever attributed to a thyreophoran trackmaker. However, the subsequent lost of the original material made this identification and the status of the ichnotaxon questionable for many subsequent authors.

NEW THYREOPHORAN REMAINS WITH STEGOSAURIAN AFFINITIES FROM THE LOWER CRETACEOUS OF ARGENTINA

open access: yesPublicación Electrónica de la Asociación Paleontológica Argentina
South American Mesozoic vertebrate fossils are key in contrasting the classic North American and European views of clades evolution. During the last decades, several relevant findings of stegosaurian remains from Argentina show a greater diversity than ...

Novel report of an osteogenic tumor in a late Jurassic Mamenchisaurid from Thailand

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, Volume 247, Issue 3-4, Page 699-711, September/October 2025.
Here we describe a pathology in an ulna of a Late Jurassic mamenchisaurid from Thailand. We use anatomical descriptions, CT scanning, and bone histology to identify the pathology as an osteogenic tumor. Abstract Here we report on an osseous abnormality and multiple fractures in an ulna of a subadult basal Eusauropod (Mamenchisauridae) from the Late ...

How femoral morphology informs our understanding of the evolution of ornithopod locomotion and body size

open access: yesPalaeontology, Volume 68, Issue 4, July/August 2025.
Abstract Ornithopoda is one of the three main ornithischian dinosaur clades in which secondary quadrupedality is represented. However, when it evolved from obligate bipedality remains controversial. Indeed, the ability to alternate between the two habits was inferred in some ornithopods based on ichnological observations and a mosaic of bipedal and ...

Review of osteoderm function and future research directions

open access: yesJournal of Zoology, Volume 325, Issue 1, Page 1-24, January 2025.
Osteoderms are bone plates in the skin that occur in virtually all major tetrapod clades. Much has been speculated about their function, but many questions remain unanswered. This review provides an overview of the current state of knowledge and future research directions in this field.
