Growing Up Tyrannosaurus Rex: Osteohistology Refutes the Pygmy Nanotyrannus and Supports Ontogenetic Niche Partitioning in Juvenile Tyrannosaurus [PDF]
, 2020 Despite its iconic status as the king of dinosaurs, Tyrannosaurus rex biology is incompletely understood. Here, we examine femur and tibia bone microstructure from two half-grown T.

Visualising muscle anatomy using three-dimensional computer models - an example using the head and neck muscles of Sphenodon [PDF]
, 2009 We demonstrate how the computer-based technique of multi-body dynamics analysis (MDA) can be used to create schematic, but informative three-dimensional (3D) representations of complex muscle anatomy.
