New Itasuchidae (Sebecia, Ziphosuchia) remains and the radiation of an elusive Mesoeucrocodylia clade

Andre Eduardo Piacentini Pinheiro et al.

Summary: Crocodyliformes from the Bauru Group in Brazil, including specimens of Itasuchidae, have been analysed and described. The morphological analysis revealed the similarity between these specimens and the species of Pepesuchus, Itasuchus cf. jesuinoi, and cf. Roxochampsa paulistanus. The phylogenetic and morphometric results confirmed the monophyly of Itasuchidae and suggested that South American itasuchid species occupied a distinctive morphospace among crocodyliforms. The Bauru Group represents a diversity peak of archosaurs in the Upper Cretaceous. Rating: 8/10.

Paleohistological inferences of thermometabolic regimes in Notosuchia (Pseudosuchia: Crocodylomorpha) revisited

Jorge Cubo et al.

Summary: Notosuchia, a group of terrestrial crocodyliforms, have been suggested to have an erect posture, which is often associated with endothermy. However, a recent study using bone histology suggests that they were ectothermic. To investigate this further, a new study was conducted using a larger sample size and a different analysis method, which suggests that some Notosuchia species were indeed ectothermic.

Whole-body endothermy: ancient, homologous and widespread among the ancestors of mammals, birds and crocodylians

Gordon Grigg et al.

Summary: The whole-body endothermy in modern birds and mammals may have a similar origin, challenging the previous assumption of independent evolution. The similarity in early muscle thermogenesis processes in birds and mammals supports the hypothesis of homology in whole-body endothermy.

Morphology of the nutrient artery and its foramen in relation to femoral bone perfusion rates of laying and non-laying hens

Qiaohui Hu et al.

Summary: The study utilized vascular contrast and micro-computerized tomographic scanning to investigate femoral nutrient foramen and artery sizes in three groups of sub-adult chickens. The results showed a significant correlation between artery lumen size and foramen size, suggesting a method for estimating blood flow rates through nutrient arteries. Laying hens tend to have higher nutrient artery perfusion rates, potentially due to extra oxygen and calcium requirements for eggshell production.

Fossil biomolecules reveal an avian metabolism in the ancestral dinosaur

Jasmina Wiemann et al.

Summary: Birds and mammals have the highest metabolic rates among living animals, which play a crucial role in their adaptability and ecological niches. The metabolic performance of birds exceeds that of mammals and is thought to have evolved gradually. This study also found no correlation between atmospheric oxygen concentrations and metabolic rates, suggesting that other factors may determine the evolution of metabolic rates.

Sedimentology of a distributive fluvial system: The Serra da Galga Formation, a new lithostratigraphic unit (Upper Cretaceous, Bauru Basin, Brazil)

Marcus Vinicius Theodoro Soares et al.

Summary: This study focuses on the northeastern deposits of the Marilia Formation in the Bauru Basin of SE Brazil, demonstrating significant differences from other regions and proposing a new lithostratigraphic classification as the Serra da Galga Formation. By analyzing lithofacies, palaeopedology, and sedimentary architecture, the study reveals unique characteristics of these deposits, distinguishing them from the rest of the Marilia Formation.

Juan V. Ruiz et al.

Summary: A new species of sphagesaurid named Caipirasuchus with specialized jaws and dentition was described from the Late Cretaceous of Brazil. Phylogenetic analysis revealed the advanced notosuchians forming a clade named Sphagesauria, with two more inclusive clades Xenodontosuchia and Eunotosuchia encompassing various Mesozoic notosuchians.

High Blood Flow Into the Femur Indicates Elevated Aerobic Capacity in Synapsids Since the Synapsida-Sauropsida Split

Philipp L. Knaus et al.

Summary: Research suggests that varanids are the only non-avian sauropsids that have stamina similar to warm-blooded mammals. Furthermore, the correlation between high metabolic rates and blood flow into the femur serves as an indicator for determining the stamina range of species.
