author keywords: Ornatops incantatus; Brachylophosaurini; Hadrosauridae; Allison Member; Menefee Formation; New Mexico
topics (OpenAlex): Paleontology and Evolutionary Biology; Ichthyology and Marine Biology; Evolution and Paleontology Studies
TL;DR: Onatops is the first brachylophosaurin reported from New Mexico and the southernmost occurrence of the clade, and a phylogenetic analysis places Ornatops in a trichotomy with Probrachyophosaurus and Brachylophosaurus, with Maiasaura and Acristavus as successive outgroups.

Description and rediagnosis of the crested hadrosaurid (Ornithopoda) dinosaur Parasaurolophus cyrtocristatus on the basis of new cranial remains

Gates, T. A., Evans, D. C., & Sertich, J. J. W. (2021, January 25). PeerJ, Vol. 9.

author keywords: Ontogeny; Cretaceous; Dinosaur; Allometry; Phylogeny; Taxonomy; Campanian; Crest; Sexual selection
topics (OpenAlex): Paleontology and Evolutionary Biology; Evolution and Paleontology Studies; Ichthyology and Marine Biology
TL;DR: Unlike in previous reconstructions, the crest composition in Parasaurolophus follows what is seen in other lambeosaurines such as Corythosaurus, where the dorsal process of the premaxilla dominates the crest, with the nasal forming 80% of the ventral paired tubes, and the lateral premaxillary process acting a lateral cover between the dorsal and ventral tubes.

Diminutive fleet-footed tyrannosauroid narrows the 70-million-year gap in the North American fossil record

topics (OpenAlex): Paleontology and Evolutionary Biology; Evolution and Paleontology Studies; Amphibian and Reptile Biology
TL;DR: The discovery of a new tyrannosaur reveals that the earliest North American tyrannosaurs relied on speed and small body size to survive and that apex predator status and large body sizes were not reached until much later in their evolutionary history. (via Semantic Scholar)
