Gnathovorax cabreirai: a new early dinosaur and the origin and initial radiation of predatory dinosaurs

TLDR
An ecomorphological analysis employing dental traits indicates that herrerasaurids occupy a particular area in the morphospace of faunivorous dinosaurs, which partially overlaps the area occupied by post-Carnian theropods, indicating that her rerasaurid dinosaurs preceded the ecological role that later would be occupied by large to medium-sized theropoda.

A new Permian temnospondyl with Russian affinities from South America, the new family Konzhukoviidae, and the phylogenetic status of Archegosauroidea

TLDR
This taxon is considered to be a nomen dubium and purge it from the strict consensus tree, and the phylogenetic results support the erection of a new family – Konzhukoviidae – to replace ‘Tryphosuchinae’ and accommodate Konz hukovia vetusta, K. tarda and K. sangabrielensis, the new Brazilian species basal to the Russian forms.

The rocky intertidal plankton trap RIPT2: A modified device

TLDR
The modification (RIPT2) of an earlier described, passive Rocky Intertidal Plankton Trap to be used in exposed rocky shores is described, which aims to evaluate and integrate over time the mero- and holoplankton arriving to the rocky shore.

Intake rates and the functional response in shorebirds (Charadriiformes) eating macro‐invertebrates

TLDR
The present and previous studies show that the general shape of the functional response in shorebirds eating approximately the same size of prey across the full range of prey density is a decelerating rise to a plateau, thus approximating the Holling type II (‘disc equation’) formulation.

Prozostrodon brasiliensis, a probainognathian cynodont from the Late Triassic of Brazil: second record and improvements on its dental anatomy

TLDR
The second known specimen (CAPPA/UFSM 0123) of Prozostrodon brasiliensis is described, showing that the adult individual has more postcanine tooth morphotypes than the juvenile one.

Patch recolonization by the tunicate Pyura praeputialis in the rocky intertidal of the Bay of Antofagasta, Chile: evidence for self-facilitation mechanisms

TLDR
Patch dynamics of intertidal Pyura praeputialis were studied and it is believed that the mech- anism of recolonization is most probably related to the settlement of recruits to the border of previ- ously settled individuals, possibly mediated by intraspecific self-facilitation mechanisms.
