Early origins of divergent patterns of morphological evolution on the mammal and reptile stem-lineages

Neil Brocklehurst et al.

Summary: The divergence in macroevolutionary patterns between synapsids and reptiles laid the foundation for subsequent evolutionary events and may be critical in understanding the substantial differences between mammals and reptiles today. The early burst of evolution in amniotes resulted in the early origins of morphologically distinctive subgroups, with reptiles showing more constrained evolution compared to synapsids. The differences in rates and constraints of morphological evolution provide insights into the evolutionary history and potential explanations for the biological differences between these two groups.

Evidence from South Africa for a protracted end-Permian extinction on land

Pia A. Viglietti et al.

Summary: The study analyzed fossil data from South Africa's Karoo Basin, revealing a period of high extinction rates lasting approximately 1 million years during the Permo-Triassic Transition. This period was characterized by rapid turnover and the emergence of short-lived species, indicating ecosystem instability.

Morphology of the temporal skull region in tetrapods: research history, functional explanations, and a new comprehensive classification scheme

Pascal Abel et al.

Summary: The morphology of the temporal region in the tetrapod skull has been a widely discussed feature, sparking debates on the phylogenetic, developmental, and functional background. The history of research on the temporal region shows the development of the phylogenetic perspective from early recognition of differences to current assessments, highlighting remaining controversies. Different functional and developmental drivers proposed for morphological diversity are compared, along with interpretations of internal and external factors on tetrapod skull structure.

A reassessment of the enigmatic diapsid Paliguana whitei and the early history of Lepidosauromorpha

David P. Ford et al.

Summary: Lepidosaurs, including lizards, snakes, amphisbaenians, and tuatara, form a diverse group with a long evolutionary history. Paliguana whitei from the Early Triassic of South Africa is identified as the earliest known stem-lepidosaur, providing insights into their cranial evolution. The study reveals that characteristics of pleurodont dental implantation evolved early on the lepidosaur stem-lineage, while key functional traits related to hearing and feeding evolved later in the lepidosaur crown-group.

New information on the Jurassic lepidosauromorph Marmoretta oxoniensis

Elizabeth F. Griffiths et al.

Summary: The earliest known crown-group lepidosaurs are from the Middle Triassic, however, their stem group is poorly sampled. The Middle Jurassic lepidosauromorph Marmoretta oxoniensis is re-examined using high-resolution micro-computed tomography to reveal new information about its skull anatomy. Our phylogenetic analysis places Marmoretta as a stem-lepidosaur.

The Early Permian Bolosaurid Eudibamus cursoris: Earliest Reptile to Combine Parasagittal Stride and Digitigrade Posture During Quadrupedal and Bipedal Locomotion

David S. Berman et al.

Summary: This study provides a comprehensive description of the holotype skeleton of the lower Permian reptile Eudibamus cursoris, as well as a partially articulated second specimen. Structural differences between the two specimens are attributed to different ontogenetic stages of ossification, with the holotype representing a more juvenile individual and the second specimen a more mature one.

A new cranial reconstruction of Coelurosauravus elivensis Piveteau, 1926 (Diapsida, Weigeltisauridae) and its implications on the paleoecology of the first gliding vertebrates

Valentin Buffa et al.

Summary: This study re-describes the cranial skeleton of the gliding neodiapsid reptile Coelurosauravus elivensis, providing detailed information on previously unidentified elements and proposing a novel reconstruction. It is found to have the smallest skull among weigeltisaurids and distinctive facial ornamentation, frill, and dentition compared to other species. The elongate frill is associated with an increase in temporal jaw adductor size, potentially leading to increased bite force and speed. The spikes and frills of weigeltisaurids are likely used for display and defense.

COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHIC ANALYSIS OF THE CRANIUM OF THE EARLY PERMIAN RECUMBIROSTRAN 'MICROSAUR' EURYODUS DALYAE REVEALS NEW DETAILS OF THE BRAINCASE AND MANDIBLE

Bryan M. Gee et al.

Summary: Recumbirostran 'microsaurs' are Paleozoic tetrapods with morphological adaptations for fossorial ecologies; recent studies using tomographic methods have provided new data on the poorly known anatomy, informing their phylogenetic position within crown Amniota, and the discovery of multiple tooth rows in 'microsaurs' further supports their close relationship with reptiles.
