title: <i>Cariocecus bocagei</i>, a new basal hadrosauroid from the Lower Cretaceous of Portugal

description: In Portugal, iguanodontian dinosaurs are mostly known from the Late Jurassic of the Lourinhã Formation and are represented by dryosaurids and basal styracosternans. The Early Cretaceous record of iguanodontians in Portugal is scarce in comparison, with scattered and uninformative remains referred to Styracosterna indet. Here, we describe SHN.832, the first iguanodontian skull from Portugal, named <i>Cariocecus bocagei</i> gen. nov. sp. nov. The specimen was found in Praia do Areia do Mastro (Cabo Espichel, Sesimbra) in the Papo Seco Formation (lower Barremian), and comprises the right side of the skull, part of the skull vault and a nearly complete basicranium. <i>Cariocecus bocagei</i> is diagnosed based on autapomorphies such as the co-ossified maxillo-jugal complex and the trilobated shape of the supraoccipital. The phylogenetic analysis retrieves <i>C. bocagei</i> as a basal hadrosauroid in a clade with <i>Comptonatus chasei</i> and <i>Brighstoneus simmondsi</i>. Our biogeographical analysis emphasizes the effects of insular endemism during the Hauterivian–Aptian range in the European regions. We show that Iguanodontia originated in South America, and through a dispersal event towards North America during the Upper Jurassic, expanded their latitudinal range. <i>Cariocecus</i> and other early-diverging iguanodontians emerged during an eastward dispersal event in the Lower Cretaceous. We reconstructed the endocast, cranial nerves and inner ear of <i>Cariocecus</i> via segmentation of micro-computed tomography scanning, showing similarities with other Hadrosauriformes such as <i>Iguanodon</i> and <i>Proa</i>. We propose the most detailed inner ear soft-tissue reconstruction for a dinosaur so far, including the macula and sub-branches of the vestibulocochlear nerve, supported by the extant phylogenetic bracket. Based on the unossified suture of the cranial elements, we hypothesize that SHN.832 had not yet reached full skeletal maturity, and our restoration suggests a total skull length of about 45 cm. The supraorbital membrane was reconstructed based on the well-preserved supraorbital bone and comparison with modern taxa. https://zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:C02A3840-F7A5-44FA-882D-4403933EAB4C

title: A new late Permian archosauromorph reptile from Germany enhances our understanding of the early diversity of the clade

description: The archosauromorphs (birds, crocodylians, and reptiles closer to them than to lepidosauromorphs) are major components of the extant tetrapod biodiversity, and their major diversification started during the Triassic. The oldest archosauromorphs are late Permian in age, but their record from this time interval is currently limited to five nominal species and a few other possible occurrences. Brief reports of probable archosauromorph skeletal remains from an upper Permian fissure filling just south of Korbach in Hesse (Germany) can potentially increase the scarce Palaeozoic record of the clade. Here we describe and compare an isolated anterior postaxial cervical vertebra from the Korbach locality (SMNK-PAL 76022). The vertebra has a parallelogram-shaped elongated centrum, which is 2.5 times longer than tall, and a low neural spine, resembling the morphology of other early archosauromorphs. In addition, a lunate fossa that separates the anterior rim of the centrum from the base of the prezygapophysis and the absence of posteriorly well-defined prezygapophyseal facets appear to be unique among Permo-Triassic diapsids and allow SMNK-PAL 76022 to be designated as the holotype of the new genus and species <i>Manistropheus kulicki</i>. A comprehensive phylogenetic analysis recovered <i>Manistropheus kulicki</i> at the base of Archosauromorpha. Morphological disparity analyses based on anterior-middle postaxial cervical characters show that Permian archosauromorphs taken together were already diverse before the end-Permian mass extinction (EPME). The cervical morphological disparity is low during the immediate aftermath of the EPME, but it increases during the late Induan and subsequently reaches a plateau of high values. This represents a faster diversification of this part of the skeleton after the EPME than has been found for other skeletal regions in previous studies. <i>Manistropheus kulicki</i> uncovers a small portion of the purported cryptic Permian archosauromorph diversity and highlights the importance of the Korbach locality to shed light on the continental tetrapod assemblages before the EPME. https://zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:9CC99EAD-5214-4707-A79D-B3332E91E128

title: Taxonomic review, ontogeny and phylogeny of the aeduellids from the upper Carboniferous Decazeville Basin (Aveyron, France)

description: The Aeduellidae (Actinopterygii) are well represented in the Permo–Carboniferous basins of the French Massif Central, in particular the Decazeville Basin (Aveyron, France), with two known species: <i>Decazella vetteri</i> and <i>Aeduella blainvillei</i>. While the presence of the endemic <i>D. vetteri</i> had already been documented, we confirm the unambiguous presence of <i>A. blainvillei</i> which was previously doubtful. As no revision of these species has been proposed since their original description in the 1960s, we provide their complete redescription. This allows us to discuss the ontogeny of the aeduellids including the allometric growth of certain skull bones and the developmental pattern of scales. In addition, a cladistic analysis based on a new character matrix of several Permo–Carboniferous actinopterygians is proposed to discuss the relationships between aeduellids. This analysis recovers the Aeduellidae as a monophyletic family and as the sister group to Igornichthyidae. <i>Decazella</i> is found in an intermediate position within aeduellids, whereas <i>Aeduella</i> is found as a derived taxon close to <i>Amelangia</i> and <i>Platysella</i>. Our analysis places the North American taxa in a basal position among Aeduellidae, suggesting a possible North American origin for aeduellids, or more likely a convergence of characters that challenges their attribution to Aeduellidae. Furthermore, based on this analysis, we discuss the phylogenetic status of several characters used in previous phylogenetic analyses and redefine their evolutionary history within aeduellids.

title: The first record of <i>Pliotragus</i> (Artiodactyla: Bovidae) in the Early Pleistocene of eastern Asia; contribution to its systematics, palaeohabitat and palaeobiogeography

description: <i>Pliotragus</i> is a large-sized caprin within Bovidae, primarily known from the Late Pliocene to the Middle Pleistocene of Europe. To date, only a single site with this genus has been discovered in western Asia (Sarikol Tepe, Ankara, Turkey). It remains poorly understood due to insufficient material and study. In this paper, we report the first record of <i>Pliotragus</i> in eastern Asia (Xinyaozi locality, China) and compare it with some related taxa. The new specimens are similar to <i>P. ardeus</i> in cranial morphology and tooth measurements. However, considering certain differences between the horncore from Xinyaozi and that of its European counterparts, we classified the new material as <i>Pliotragus</i> cf. <i>ardeus</i>. Based on previously discovered material and our new specimens, we performed a Bayesian total-evidence dating analysis to determine the taxonomic status of the species. The results show that it should be placed in Caprini, clustering with the clade of <i>Capricornis</i>-<i>Ovibos</i>-<i>Euceratherium</i>, indicating closer relationships with <i>Ovibos</i> rather than <i>Rupicapra</i>, as previously proposed. We discuss whether <i>P. ardeus</i> might be a synonym of <i>Sinoryx bombifrons</i> based on similarities in their morphology and size. Additionally, we reconstructed its diet and habitat using dental and limb bone morphometric features. <i>Pliotragus ardeus</i> was likely a browse-dominated or mixed feeder that might have been adapted to both mountainous and plain regions, with intermediate diet and habitat preferences. Finally, we summarized its biostratigraphic position and palaeobiogeography, inferring that it dispersed from eastern Asia to Europe during the late Late Pliocene to early Early Pleistocene, probably triggered by increased glaciation.

title: The enigmatic ailurid <i>Magerictis imperialensis</i> (Mammalia: Carnivora) unveiled: a systematic approach to the early Ailuridae

description: We present a detailed description of the craniodental and postcranial remains of the enigmatic <i>Magerictis imperialensis</i>, a basal Ailuridae previously known only from a single m2 from the Middle Miocene of the Madrid Basin (Spain). The discovery of new specimens from eight Middle Miocene (MN5–MN6) localities in Madrid has yielded comprehensive information on the dentition, mandibular morphology, and postcranial skeleton of this species. These new fossils provide an excellent opportunity to revise the phylogenetic relationships of <i>Magerictis</i> and related musteloids from the Oligocene and Miocene of Eurasia and North America. Our phylogenetic analysis indicates that <i>Magerictis</i> and <i>Rothictis</i> gen. nov. are the most basal members of the Aiuluridae. Both genera, together with <i>Alopecocyon</i>, <i>Actiocyon</i>, and <i>Protursus</i>, underwent a limited adaptive radiation during the Middle and Late Miocene in Eurasia and North America. This radiation potentially includes the ancestors of the most specialized ailurids (<i>Simocyon</i>, and the ailurines <i>Parailurus</i>, <i>Pristinailurus</i> and <i>Ailurus</i>). The postcranial elements attributed to <i>Magerictis</i>, particularly the astragalus and calcaneus, exhibit a morphological pattern comparable to that of <i>Ailurus</i>, thereby distinguishing it from other Musteloidea. A systematic rearrangement of the primitive Holartic musteloids from the Oligocene and Miocene is proposed. The Ailuridae are divided into three subfamilies: (i) Ailurinae for <i>Ailurus</i>, <i>Parailurus</i> and <i>Pristinailurus</i>; (ii) Simocyoninae, which includes <i>Simocyon</i>, <i>Protursus</i>, <i>Alopecocyon</i> and <i>Actiocyon</i>; and (iii) Magerictinae nov. rank for <i>Magerictis</i> and <i>Rothictis</i> gen. nov. (type species <i>Rothictis wintershofensis</i> comb. nov.). The family Amphictidae Winge, 1895 is revalidated for <i>Amphictis</i> and <i>Bonisictis</i> gen. nov. (type species <i>Bonisictis ambiguus</i> comb. nov.). https://zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:15D893D5-0C61-4652-8919-DAEF998F3953
