Theropod skull form is strongly correlated with phylogeny but only weakly correlated with the measure of function that we utilize (MA of the jaw muscles), and our statistical tests show that phylogeny explains a substantially greater amount of variance in skull shape than does function.
22 Φεβ 2001 · The combination of a weak muscle-driven bite force, a very ‘light’ and ‘open’ skull architecture and unusually high cranial strength, suggests a very specific feeding behaviour for this animal....
25 Ιουλ 2007 · Figures 8 and 9 depict comparisons of superficial neck musculature of large theropods, and highlight variation in their feeding apparatus. Large theropods are classifiable into feeding styles based on the morphology of their necks, skulls, inferred musculature, and inferred craniocervical kinematics.
7 Δεκ 2007 · Tetrapods use anterior axial and branchiomerically derived muscles for moving the head laterally and sagittally, to locate the sources of stimuli (Berthoz, Graf & Vidal, 1992) and to procure food (Schwenk, 2000a).
A detailed description of the neuroanatomy of Murusraptor barrosaensis—a mid-sized non-maniraptoran theropod from the Late Cretaceous of north Patagonia—is based on the exceptionally preserved type braincase. CT scans provide new information on the braincase, brain, cranial nerves, encephalic vasculature, and inner ear of this taxon.
24 Νοε 2011 · Here, we utilize geometric morphometrics to study broad patterns in theropod skull shape variation and compare the distribution of taxa in cranial morphospace (form) to both phylogeny and quantitative metrics of biting behaviour (function).
