Osteological postcranial traits in hylid anurans indicate a morphological continuum between swimming and jumping locomotor modes
(Wiley-liss, Div John Wiley & Sons Inc, 2017-03)
Anurans exhibit a particularly wide range of locomotor modes that result in wide variations in their skeletal structure. This article investigates the possible correlation between morphological aspects of the hylid postcranial ...
Body mass estimation for †Cyonasua (Procyonidae, Carnivora) and related taxa based on postcranial skeleton
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2018-05)
Procyonidae were the first northern placental carnivorans that reached the Neotropics. They are represented by two extinct genera: †Cyonasua and †Chapalmalania (late Miocene–early Pleistocene). Postcranial elements are ...
The postcranial anatomy of Yacarerani boliviensis and the phylogenetic significance of the notosuchian postcranial skeleton
(Society of Vertebrate Paleontology, 2015-09)
In this contribution, we describe new specimens of Yacarerani boliviensis from the Cajones Formation (Upper Cretaceous) of Bolivia. We focus on the postcranial anatomy of Y. boliviensis, because this anatomical region is ...
Identification of the first postcranial skeleton of Aristonectes Cabrera (Plesiosauroidea, Elasmosauridae) from the upper Maastrichtian of the south-eastern Pacific, based on a bivariate graphic analysis
(Elsevier, 2013)
Cervical vertebrae of elasmosaurids (Sauropterygia, Plesiosauroidea) have proven to be informative even
at family level. The present paper uses a previously developed methodology based on bivariate graphic
analysis that ...
Notes on the postcranial osteology of the sand lizard Liolaemus azarai (Squamata: Liolaemidae)
(Universidade de Sao Paulo, 2013-12)
We examined skeletons of seven adult and juvenile specimens of Liolaemus azarai that were cleared and double-stained. The states of twenty three postcranial skeleton characters were described and compared with others ...
Phylogenetic analyses of Postcranial skeletal Morphology in Didelphid Marsupials
(American Museum of Natural History, 2009-03)
In this study I provide a phylogenetic hypothesis for didelphid Marsupials including a suite of 114 postcranial characters. The postcranial evidence was cladistically analyzed separately and concatenated with a nonmolecular ...
Postcranial skeleton of Cricosaurus araucanensis (Crocodyliformes: Thalattosuchia): morphology and palaeobiological insights
(Taylor & Francis, 2013-01)
The metriorhynchid crocodyliform Cricosaurus araucanensis (Gasparini & Dellapé) has been documented from Tithonian (Upper Jurassic) strata of the Vaca Muerta Formation exposed in the Neuquén Basin, northwest Patagonia, ...
