New imaging and biomechanical approaches have heralded a renaissance in our
understanding of crocodylian anatomy. Here, we review a series of approaches in the …

The fossil crocodylomorph fauna of the Cenozoic of South America is very rich and diverse.
Historically, few publications have been dedicated to providing an overall review of this …

Abstract Northern South America and South East Asia are today's hotspots of crocodylian
diversity with up to six (mainly alligatorid) and four (mainly crocodylid) living species …

The rich fossil record of Crocodyliformes shows a much greater diversity in the past than
today in terms of morphological disparity and occupation of niches. We conducted topology …

The attachments of jaw muscles are typically implicated in the evolution and shape of the
dorsotemporal fenestra on the skull roof of amniotes. However, the dorsotemporal fenestrae …

Present‐day crocodylians exhibit a remarkably akinetic skull with a highly modified
braincase. We present a comprehensive description of the neurocranial osteology of extant …

Thalattosuchians were highly specialised aquatic archosaurs of the Jurassic and Early
Cretaceous, and represent a peak of aquatic adaptation among crocodylomorphs. Relatively …

Thalattosuchians are a group of Mesozoic crocodylomorphs known from aquatic deposits of
the Early Jurassic–Early Cretaceous that comprises two main lineages of almost exclusively …

Thalattosuchians represent one of the several independent transitions into the marine realm
among crocodylomorphs. The extent of their aquatic adaptations ranges from the …

Here we present a comparative anatomical study of large late Miocene alligatorids of
Argentina (Ituzaingó Formation), in which we analyse their taxonomy, morphological …
