The morphology of fossil footprints is the basis of vertebrate footprint ichnology. However,
the processes acting during and after trace fossil registration which are responsible for the …

The ascendancy of dinosaurs on land near the close of the Triassic now appears to have
been as accidental and opportunistic as their demise and replacement by therian mammals …

Crop heterogeneity is a possible solution to the vulnerability of monocultured crops to
disease,,. Both theory and observation, indicate that genetic heterogeneity provides greater …

The intersection of paleontology and biomechanics can be reciprocally illuminating, helping
to improve paleobiological knowledge of extinct species and furthering our understanding of …

The collection and dissemination of vertebrate ichnological data is struggling to keep up with
techniques that are becoming commonplace in the wider palaeontological field. A standard …

The oldest unequivocal records of Dinosauria were unearthed from Late Triassic rocks
(approximately 230 Ma) accumulated over extensional rift basins in southwestern Pangea …

This study concerns the formation, taphonomy, and preservation of human footprints in
microbial mats of present-day tidal-flat environments. Due to differences in water content …

It is well-known that the phalangeal formulae of the feet of dinosaurs and other vertebrates
are relatively consistent within any given clade. Indeed, such similarities are part of the basis …

Three‐dimensional skeletal movement is often impossible to accurately quantify from
external markers. X‐ray imaging more directly visualizes moving bones, but extracting 3‐D …

Bipedal locomotion evolved along the archosaurian lineage to birds, shifting from “hip-
based” to “knee-based” mechanisms. However, the roles of individual muscles in these …
