Review of the fossil record of early dinosaurs from South America, and its phylogenetic implications
Triassic beds from Argentina and Brazil provide the most relevant fossil record of early
dinosauriforms in terms of numerical abundance and taxonomic diversity. This record …

Deep evolutionary diversification of semicircular canals in archosaurs
Living archosaurs (birds and crocodylians) have disparate locomotor strategies that evolved
since their divergence∼ 250 mya. Little is known about the early evolution of the sensory …
