Locomotion is a fundamental aspect of palaeobiology and often investigated by comparing
osteological structures and proportions. Previous studies document a stepwise …

Many of the major locomotor transitions during the evolution of Archosauria, the lineage
including crocodiles and birds as well as extinct Dinosauria, were shifts from …

Much of the current paleobiological knowledge on titanosaur sauropods was attained in just
the last fifteen years, in particular that related to reproductive and developmental biology …

We investigate whether musculoskeletal anatomy and three-dimensional (3-D) body
proportions were modified during the evolution of large (> 6000 kg) body size in …

How theropod dinosaur skulls experience stress and strain during the application of
adductor muscle loads provides a unique insight into their feeding behaviour and principles …

New specimens of Herrerasaurus ischigualastensis shed light on the structure and function
of the pectoral girdle and forelimb in early theropod dinosaurs. As in tetanurian theropods …

Therizinosaurs are unusual theropods from the Upper Cretaceous of Asia and North
America. North American representatives include Falcarius utahensis from central Utah …

The water‐to‐land transition by the first tetrapod vertebrates represents a key stage in their
evolution. Selection pressures exerted by this new environment on animals led to the …

Temnospondyli are a morphologically varied and ecologically diverse clade of tetrapods that
survived for over 200 million years. The body mass of temnospondyls is a key variable in …

Wide‐gauge posture of titanosauriform sauropods remains an enigmatic peculiarity among
terrestrial vertebrates. Here, two‐dimensional geometric morphometrics and thin plate …
