Morphological and biomechanical disparity of crocodile-line archosaurs following the end-Triassic extinction
Mesozoic crurotarsans exhibited diverse morphologies and feeding modes, representing considerable ecological diversity, yet macroevolutionary patterns remain unexplored. Here, we use a unique combination of morphological and biomechanical disparity metrics to quantify the ecological diversity and trophic radiations of Mesozoic crurotarsans, using the mandible as a morpho-functional proxy. We re...
متن کاملThe evolution of locomotion in archosaurs
Archosaurian reptiles evolved a more erect posture and parasagittal gait early on. Early dinosaurs were the first habitual striding bipeds, a trait retained by living birds. Yet there is much more to archosaur locomotor evolution than these two transitions. I review our understanding of the pattern of locomotor evolution from the first archosaurs to Crocodylia and Neornithes, outlining where tr...
متن کاملThe evolution of pelvic aspiration in archosaurs
—Movements of the pelvic girdle have recently been found to contribute to inspiratory airflow in both crocodilians and birds. Although the mechanisms are quite different in birds and crocodilians, participation of the pelvic girdle in the production of inspiration is rare among vertebrates. This raises the possibility that the pelvic musculoskeletal system may have played a role in the ventilat...

متن کاملthe effect of taftan pozzolan on the compressive strength of concrete in the environmental conditions of oman sea (chabahar port)
cement is an essential ingredient in the concrete buildings. for production of cement considerable amount of fossil fuel and electrical energy is consumed. on the other hand for generating one tone of portland cement, nearly one ton of carbon dioxide is released. it shows that 7 percent of the total released carbon dioxide in the world relates to the cement industry. considering ecological issu...
