Abstract: Abstract The Cambridge Greensand Member (lower Cenomanian: Upper Cretaceous) has yielded a diverse fauna of terrestrial and marine tetrapods, whose remains are largely reworked from the underlying Gault Formation (upper Albian: Lower Cretaceous). Here, we… read more here.

DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2213987120
Abstract: The dinosaur-bird transition involved several anatomical, biomechanical, and physiological modifications of the theropod bauplan. Non-avian maniraptoran theropods, such as Troodon, are key to better understand changes in thermophysiology and reproduction occurring during this transition. Here,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/08912963.2021.1940997
Abstract: The smallest non-avian theropods have often attracted attention of palaeobiological and ichnological research. Here, we describe a diminutive tridactyl track (10.2 mm in length) from the Lower Jura... read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/brv.12808
Abstract: Sleep is ubiquitous in the animal kingdom and yet displays considerable variation in its extent and form in the wild. Ecological factors, such as predation, competition, and microclimate, therefore are likely to play a strong… read more here.

DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4543.3.1
Abstract: Knowledge about the identity of parasites in vertebrates is relevant because of their influence on ecological processes and health of their hosts. This is particularly important for groups of animals currently facing conservation issues, such… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/d11040050
Abstract: Environmental DNA (eDNA) is an increasingly used non-invasive molecular tool for detecting species presence and monitoring populations. In this article, we review the current state of non-avian reptile eDNA work in aquatic systems, and present… read more here.
