Tempo and Pattern of Avian Brain Size Evolution
CURRENT BIOLOGY, 30(11), 2026-+.
MeSH headings : Animals; Biological Evolution; Birds / anatomy & histology; Birds / genetics; Brain / anatomy & histology; Organ Size
TL;DR:
It is confirmed that no significant increase in relative brain size accompanied the trend toward miniaturization or evolution of flight during the theropod-bird transition, and patterns suggest that an early adaptive radiation in brain size laid the foundation for subsequent selection and stabilization.

Expanded coverage of non-targeted LC-HRMS using atmospheric pressure chemical ionization: a case study with ENTACT mixtures
ANALYTICAL AND BIOANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY, 412(20), 4931–4939.

Evidence of proteins, chromosomes and chemical markers of DNA in exceptionally preserved dinosaur cartilage
NATIONAL SCIENCE REVIEW, 7(4), 815–822.
author keywords: cartilage; dinosaur; nuclei; chromosomes; collagen II; DNA markers
