[HTML][HTML] Origins of slow growth on the crocodilian stem lineage
Crocodilians grow slowly and have low metabolic rates similar to other living reptiles, but
palaeohistology indicates that they evolved from an ancestor with higher growth rates. 1, 2 …

Triassic sauropodomorph dinosaurs from South America: The origin and diversification of dinosaur dominated herbivorous faunas
Sauropodomorpha is the first major dinosaurian group that radiated during the Triassic.
During this time the group underwent major changes in body plan, including the acquisition …

Impact of environmental barriers on temnospondyl biogeography and dispersal during the Middle–Late Triassic
Temnospondyls had a remarkable worldwide distribution throughout the Triassic at a time of
periodic arid climates, and were a stable component of Triassic terrestrial ecosystems. Given …
