Bertozzo F, Kecheng N, Gillette N, Godefroit P
PLoS One . 2025 Jan; 20(1):e0312519. PMID: 39854443
Ornithopod dinosaurs appeared during the Middle Jurassic, but it was in the Lower Cretaceous they started their successful evolutionary history. Different phylogenies describing the evolutionary relationships of Ornithopoda are mostly...

Lauters P, Vercauteren M, Godefroit P
Prog Brain Res . 2023 Feb; 275:1-23. PMID: 36841565
Ornithopod dinosaurs were a successful group before they became extinct at the end of the Cretaceous. They were present on every continent, though they were rare in the Southern Hemisphere....

Prondvai E, Kocsis A, Abourachid A, Adriaens D, Godefroit P, Hu D, et al.
R Soc Open Sci . 2022 May; 9(5):211893. PMID: 35582660
In fossil tetrapods, limb bone histology is considered the most reliable tool not only for inferring skeletal maturity-a crucial assessment in palaeobiological and evolutionary studies-but also for evaluating the growth...

Cincotta A, Nicolai M, Campos H, McNamara M, DAlba L, Shawkey M, et al.
Nature . 2022 Apr; 604(7907):684-688. PMID: 35444275
Remarkably well-preserved soft tissues in Mesozoic fossils have yielded substantial insights into the evolution of feathers. New evidence of branched feathers in pterosaurs suggests that feathers originated in the avemetatarsalian...

Cau A, Beyrand V, Barsbold R, Tsogtbaatar K, Godefroit P
Sci Rep . 2021 Jul; 11(1):14722. PMID: 34282248
The furcula is a distinctive element of the pectoral skeleton in birds, which strengthens the shoulder region to withstand the rigor of flight. Although its origin among theropod dinosaurs is...

Yang Y, Wu W, Dieudonne P, Godefroit P
PeerJ . 2020 Nov; 8:e9832. PMID: 33194351
A new basal ornithopod dinosaur, based on two nearly complete articulated skeletons, is reported from the Lujiatun Beds (Yixian Fm, Lower Cretaceous) of western Liaoning Province (China). Some of the...

Zhao J, Zhang J, Zhao Y, Zhang Z, Godefroit P
Data Brief . 2020 Feb; 29:105100. PMID: 32055653
Data is presented to explain why birds can recover their ruffled feather vanes by shaking wings and preening feathers with the beak [1]. Presented data includes the SEM microscopic images...

Robin N, Bakel B, Hyzny M, Cincotta A, Garcia G, Charbonnier S, et al.
Sci Rep . 2019 Dec; 9(1):20220. PMID: 31882600
With approximately 1,500 extant species, freshwater crabs (Decapoda: Brachyura) are among the most diverse decapod crustaceans. Nevertheless, their fossil record is extremely limited: only Potamidae, Potamonautidae and Trichodactylidae are reported...

Cincotta A, Pestchevitskaya E, Sinitsa S, Markevich V, Debaille V, Reshetova S, et al.
PeerJ . 2019 Feb; 7:e6239. PMID: 30723614
Diverse epidermal appendages including grouped filaments closely resembling primitive feathers in non-avian theropods, are associated with skeletal elements in the primitive ornithischian dinosaur from the Kulinda locality in south-eastern Siberia....
