Muscle and tendon morphogenesis in the avian hind limb

TL;DR: Comparison of muscle and tendon in the developing avian hind limb reveals that much of their morphogenesis is temporally and spatially closely associated, and later morphogenetic events, such as subdivision of muscle masses and segregation of tendon primordia into individual tendons, do require to various degrees reciprocal interactions between Muscle and tendon.
Journal ArticleDOI

Morphology, phylogenetic taxonomy, and systematics of Ichthyornis and Apatornis (Avialae, Ornithurae).

TL;DR: This analysis provided a case study in the application of phylogenetic nomenclature at the species level and evaluated the relationships among Mesozoic ornithurines including Ichthyornis dispar and the newly identified taxa.

Archosaur Adductor Chamber Evolution: Integration of Musculoskeletal and Topological Criteria in Jaw Muscle Homology

TL;DR: A new and robust view of jaw muscle homology is provided and the first synthesized nomenclature of sauropsid musculature is introduced using multiple lines of evidence, indicating multiple topological criteria are necessary for interpretations of soft‐tissue homology and warrant further investigation into character congruence and developmental connectivity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Postcranial pneumaticity: an evaluation of soft-tissue influences on the postcranial skeleton and the reconstruction of pulmonary anatomy in archosaurs.

TL;DR: An examination of regional pneumaticity in extant avians reveals remarkably consistent patterns of diverticular invasion of bone, and thus provides increased resolution for inferring specific components of the pulmonary air sac system in their nonavian theropod ancestors.

A new dromaeosaurid theropod from ukhaa tolgod (Ömnögov, Mongolia)

TL;DR: A new dromaeosaurid theropod from the Upper Cretaceous Djadokhta Formation of Ukhaa Tolgod, Mongolia is described, with a well-preserved skull and cervical series and a jugal–squamosal contact that excludes the postorbital from the margin of the infratemporal fenestra.
