Morphology forms the most fundamental level of data in vertebrate palaeontology because it
is through interpretations of morphology that taxa are identified, creating the basis for broad …

Biomaterials serve as an integral component of tissue engineering. They are designed to
provide architectural framework reminiscent of native extracellular matrix in order to …

Identification of the ontogenetic status of an extinct organism is complex, and yet this
underpins major areas of research, from taxonomy and systematics to ecology and …

Research on the bone histology of extant and extinct animals has a long scientific history
and an accurate description of microstructural tissues is the cornerstone of the field. Ideally …

The ontogeny of early-diverging dinosauromorphs is poorly understood because few
ontogenetic series from the same species-level taxon are known and what is available has …

The interest in mammalian palaeohistology has increased dramatically in the last two
decades. Starting in 1849 via descriptive approaches, it has been demonstrated that bone …

Intraspecific variation in growth trajectories provides a fundamental source of variation upon
which natural selection acts. Recent work hints that early dinosaurs possessed elevated …

The early evolution of toothless baleen whales (Chaeomysticeti) remains elusive, despite a
robust record of Eocene–Oligocene archaeocetes and toothed mysticetes. Eomysticetids, a …

Poposaurus gracilis is a bipedal pseudosuchian archosaur that has been poorly understood
since the discovery of the holotype fragmentary partial postcranial skeleton in 1915 …

The knowledge of the life histories of wild mammals is of crucial importance in the field of
conservation management. The endangered status of many species calls for faster data …
