title: Why extant, why not extinct? A new extinct <i>Latonia</i> species (Anura: Discoglossidae) from the Early Pleistocene of the Apennine Peninsula provides clues on the survival of the genus in Eurasia

description: Pietrafitta is one of the richest Early Pleistocene localities in the Italian Peninsula and it hosts one of the latest occurrences of the discoglossid frog <i>Latonia</i> in Europe. This occurrence is here described as a new species of <i>Latonia</i>, a large-bodied frog, potentially feeding on hard invertebrates in the Pietrafitta palaeoswamp. Our first attempt at the phylogenetic reconstruction of <i>Latonia</i>, based on a matrix consisting of 20 taxa and 39 characters, placed the new Italian species within a poorly understood clade that also includes <i>Latonia caucasica</i> from the Late Miocene of northern Caucasus. Almost all other extinct <i>Latonia</i> species make up a second clade, represented in the fossil record from the Oligocene and including the youngest occurrence of the genus in Europe, from the Middle Pleistocene of Hungary. The only extant species, <i>Latonia nigriventer</i>, was the earliest branching taxon in our topology, which could be due to its unique unsculptured morphology, a trait that may represent a secondary loss during the Quaternary. The exostosis on cranial bones, which is considered a diagnostic feature of the genus, might have developed in the earliest <i>Latonia</i> in response to pronounced warming and drought. Later, starting after the Middle Miocene, this exostosis underwent a reduction process, possibly triggered by cooling, that led to Plio–Pleistocene forms sharing a narrower frontoparietal with a less pustular sculpturing. <i>Latonia dimenticata</i> is a clear example of this frontoparietal morphology. <i>Latonia nigriventer</i> may have further evolved a completely unsculptured morphology to face rapid environmental changes in the last Quaternary glacial phases and ultimately facilitating its survival into the present day. https://zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:E0502A26-F909-4240-97CC-1C98E606322B

title: Phylogenetic relationships of Unenlagiidae among Paraves (Dinosauria)

description: In recent years, several studies on the osteology, myology and palaeobiology of southern paravians of the clade Unenlagiidae have considerably increased the information on the group. Nevertheless, their phylogenetic relationships in the theropod phylogenetic tree remain under discussion. Unenlagiids were proposed as early divergent members of Avialae or as members of Dromaeosauridae. Using as a base the most comprehensive known coelurosaurian data matrix (TWiG dataset), we aimed to test the phylogenetic affinities of unenlagiids. The dataset includes new available information, scorings based on direct observation of materials, and the addition of 15 taxa (including the Gondwanan <i>Imperobator</i>, <i>Pamparaptor</i>, <i>Unenlagia paynemili</i> and <i>Overoraptor</i>), and 23 characters. The phylogenetic trees obtained in the present analysis support the inclusion of all Gondwanan paravians in the clade Unenlagiidae, as early divergent members of Avialae, and outside of Dromaeosauridae. This emphasizes the importance of Unenlagiidae in interpreting the phylogenetic relationships and early evolution of avialans.

title: New material of <i>Dolichochampsa minima</i> (Archosauria: Crocodylia) from the Cretaceous–Palaeogene El Molino Formation of Bolivia sheds light on the early evolution of Gavialinae

description: Four Late Cretaceous taxa have been suggested to be amongst the oldest gavialoids: ‘thoracosaurs’ from North America; <i>Ocepesuchus eoafricanus</i> from Africa; <i>Portugalosuchus azenhae</i> from Portugal; and <i>Dolichochampsa minima</i> from South America. The evolutionary relationships of these taxa to definitive gavialoids remain contentious. Resolving the evolutionary relationships of early gavialoids is important for understanding the timing of the origin of the clade and its potential distribution across landmasses. Here, we report new material of <i>Dolichochampsa minima</i> from the Late Cretaceous–early Paleocene (73–64 Ma) El Molino Formation of Bolivia that provides key anatomical information elucidating the evolutionary relationships of early gavialines. A phylogenetic analysis based on a revised and expanded morphological character data set recovers <i>D. minima</i> nested within Gavialinae. The other putative gavialoids, however, were resolved outside of Gavialoidea: <i>Ocepesuchus</i> was recovered within alligatorids; ‘thoracosaurs’ were recovered outside crown-group Crocodylia; and <i>Portugalosuchus</i> was recovered within ‘thoracosaurs’. This phylogenetic hypothesis implies that several characters associated with longirostry evolved independently in gavialines and ‘thoracosaurs’. The phylogenetic relationships and geographical distribution of early gavialines suggest a plausible centre of origination in Gondwana for the group, followed by multiple trans-oceanic dispersals during the Late Cretaceous to other landmasses and possible dispersals to South America from the peri-Tethys during the late Palaeogene.

title: A new species of <i>Elkanemys</i> (Pleurodira: Pelomedusoides) from the Portezuelo Formation (Turonian–Coniacian) of Patagonia, Argentina

description: We describe <i>Elkanemys caelestis</i> sp. nov., a pelomedusoid turtle, based on two specimens from the Baal locality, Portezuelo Formation (Turonian-Coniacian), situated on the northern shore of Barreales Lake, Neuquén Province, Argentina. Specimens MUC-Pv 2218 and MUC-Pv 2219 represent two individuals, preserving both the carapace and plastron articulated by the bridge, showing characteristics of Pelomedusoides within Pleurodira, such as absence of a cervical scute, lateral rounded mesoplastra and a wide posterior plastral lobe. MUC-Pv 2219 also preserves the skull which exhibits characteristics typical of Pelomedusoides such as the presence of a quadratojugal bone and the absence of nasal bones. The carapace of MUC-Pv 2219 exhibits an anomaly of supernumerary peripheral bones and marginal scutes. Furthermore, MUC-Pv 2219 presents a unique indeterminate sub-triangular bone element ventral to the dentary, which is not described in other Cretaceous pleurodires. Both specimens demonstrate shared features, including hexagonal first neurals with short posterolateral sides and quadrangular second neurals, reinforcing their placement within the genus <i>Elkanemys</i>. Our phylogenetic analysis recovers <i>Elkanemys</i> as a member of Podocnemidoidae, exhibiting close affinities with Bauru Basin species. https://zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:DB3A8AA5-5AF1-48DD-9F87-52884AB539BF

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: Revision of Romanian sauropod dinosaurs reveals high titanosaur diversity and body-size disparity on the latest Cretaceous Haţeg Island, with implications for titanosaurian biogeography

description: The Hațeg Basin and surrounding areas in Transylvania, western Romania, have been a hotspot for research on vertebrate faunas of the Late Cretaceous European Archipelago. One of the historically earliest titanosaurian sauropod dinosaurs to be discovered, the ‘dwarfed’ species <i>Magyarosaurus dacus</i> comes from lower Maastrichtian deposits in this basin; however, this species has been neglected, with no modern treatment of its anatomy, taxonomy or phylogenetic affinities. Via detailed anatomical study of historical and undescribed remains, combined with archival data, we identify shared autapomorphies that link multiple partial skeletons. Our analysis of hundreds of specimens (including &gt;20 monospecific assemblages) enables the stabilization of the type species <i>Magyarosaurus dacus</i>. We propose the presence of three additional, but only partly contemporaneous taxa – <i>Paludititan nalatzensis</i>, <i>Petrustitan</i> (‘<i>Magyarosaurus</i>’) <i>hungaricus</i> n. gen. and <i>Uriash kadici</i> n. gen. n. sp. (the latter being amongst the largest known sauropods of the Late Cretaceous European Archipelago). We present a new phylogenetic analysis (152 taxa scored for 570 characters), with implications for broader titanosaurian evolutionary relationships and biogeography: <i>Magyarosaurus</i> is recovered either as a member or a close relative of Saltasauridae; <i>Paludititan</i> has affinities with Lognkosauria, along with the contemporaneous <i>Lohuecotitan</i>; <i>Petrustitan</i> is most closely related to South American early diverging eutitanosaurian taxa; and <i>Uriash</i> also shares affinities with Gondwanan taxa. Our findings strengthen the hypothesis that latest Cretaceous European titanosaurs belonged to Gondwanan lineages that invaded the former area during the Barremian–Albian. We interpret the presence of body-size disparity as either evidence that large-bodied taxa were ecologically excluded from body-size reduction by competition with small-bodied titanosaurs, or that dwarfing occurred stratigraphically earlier among several lineages and the small-bodied titanosaurs on Hațeg Island are the descendants of existing dwarfed ancestors. Finally, we find no indication of a body size-related titanosaurian turnover in the uppermost Cretaceous of the Transylvanian area.
