Evolution, Vol. 26, No. 4 (Dec., 1972), pp. 622-637 (16 pages) A mathematical model of the mechanical arrangement of the lower jaw and the external adductor muscle is constructed which shows that it ...

Several synapsid groups evolved a secondary palate during the Permian, or a shelf of bone that separates the nose from the mouth and throat. If you stick your tongue to the roof of your mouth ...

Predatory synapsid ecomorphology signals growing dynamism of late Palaeozoic terrestrial ecosystems. Communications Biology, 2024; 7 (1) DOI: 10.1038/s42003-024-05879-2 ...

By comparing the biomechanics of two modern animals, cat and lizard, and CT scans of synapsid fossils, the researchers overturned the traditional notion that the gradual accumulation of different ...

Pyozia mesenensis, gen et sp. nov. is the second varanopid synapsid from the Middle Permian Krasnoschelsk Formation of Russia. Pyozia is a basal varanopid similar to Archaeovenator in having teeth ...

However, our study showed that most synapsid limbs functioned differently than those of modern reptiles,” says Dr. Kenneth Angielczyk, a co-author of the study.

The synapsid collection is rich in holotypes, so remains a vital destination for taxonomists. These include: Dicynodon lacerticeps Owen 1845, Endothiodon bathystoma Owen 1876, Cynognathus craternotus ...
