Since the start of twenty-first century, there has been a notable increase in annual publications focusing on dinosaur reproduction and ontogeny with researchers using these data to address range macroevolutionary questions about dinosaurs. Ontogeny, which is closely tied osteological morphological variation, impacts several key research areas, such as taxonomic diversity, population dynamics, palaeoecology, macroevolution, well physiological reproductive factors driving ecological success. While broad studies have significantly advanced our understanding evolution, they also revealed important challenges areas needing further investigation. In this review, we aim outline some major linked ontogeny, namely biology, osteohistological growth strategies, variation link between macroevolution. We offer recommendations for best practices promising future directions. These include increasing sample sizes through fieldwork exhaustive use pre-existing fossil collections, micro-computed tomography (μCT) scanning methods dataset non-destructive manner, methodical collection reposition μCT scan data, assessing ontogenetic maturity, establishing consistency terminology building comprehensive extant comparative datasets.

Abstract The hadrosauroid Telmatosaurus and the rhabdodontid Zalmoxes were first second dinosaur taxa that described in detail from famous Upper Cretaceous continental deposits of Haţeg Basin by Franz Baron Nopcsa at beginning twentieth century. Although they are among most common best-known dinosaurs discovered these deposits, there still many open questions as to their taxonomy anatomy. Here, we re-describe two partial braincases uppermost have been recently referred re-assign them hadrosauroids, possibly . These specimens both exhibit basicranial features characteristic derived hadrosauroids but absent more basal iguanodontians. include an antero-posteriorly short basioccipital lacking a distinct neck, presence well-developed sphenoccipital tubercles on ventral aspect braincase directly positioned anterior basioccipital, well deep depression between tubercles. comparison provided herein demonstrates several important differences basicranium rhabdodontids, which allows for confident identification even isolated incomplete specimens. Moreover, removal only has shqiperorum prompts revised diagnosis species.
