Intervertebral Articulation and the Evolution of Large Body Size in Archosauria
… including body size trends. The reptile group Archosauria encompasses living and extinct birds and crocodylians as well as non-avian dinosaurs and crocodile relatives called pseudosuchians. My research focuses on studying fossils of extinct archosaurs to determine how the morphology of their …

Análise filogenética dos Mesoeucrocodylia basais da América do Sul e a evolução do Gondwana (Archosauria: Crocodyliformes)
Mesoeucrocodylia includes the crocodylians usually divided in two groups - Mesosuchia and Eusuchia. Although the latter is mainly represented by living forms, today restrict to warm and wet habitats in the Tropics, the former includes a diverse set of forms, often found in sedimentary deposits from …

The Phylogeny of Basal Coelurosaurian Theropods (Archosauria: Dinosauria) and Patterns of Morphological Evolution during the Dinosaur-Bird Transition
Theropod dinosaurs are an iconic and familiar group of extinct species that include predators such as Tyrannosaurus and Velociraptor, as well as an array of other Mesozoic taxa. Carnivorous theropods are the evolutionary ancestors of birds, and the evolutionary transition between theropods and …

Exploring the Soft Tissue of the Archosaurian Feeding System through Evolutionary and Developmental Temporal Space
… throughout the fossil record, most frequently in Archosauria. Archosauria, represented today by living crocodylians and birds and includes extinct non-avian dinosaurs and pseudosuchians, first appeared in the early Mesozoic Era, during the Middle Triassic. Archosauria continue to diversify through …

Desenvolvimento pós-embrionário de Nothocrax urumutum (Spix, 1825) em cativeiro (Aves, Cracidae)
… in terms of postembryonic development within the Archosauria.

Ontogeny within a convergent evolutionary context
… growth signal typically observed across Archosauria and instead, appear to exhibit size-dependent growth. Phytosaurs have long been considered "crocodile-like"; however, my dissertation reveals nuanced differences in the development and evolution of these two convergent clades suggesting …

Quantifying variation in teeth of Late Triassic vertebrates: implications for identification, palaeoecology, and biostratigraphy
The Triassic Period (~252–201.5 Ma) represents one of the most dynamic intervals in Earth's history, characterised by major evolutionary radiations following the end-Permian mass extinction, the emergence and diversification of key vertebrate lineages, and the establishment of modern terrestrial …
