Four-winged dinosaurs from China
Although the dinosaurian hypothesis of bird origins is widely accepted, debate remains about how the ancestor of birds first learned to fly. Here we provide new evidence suggesting that basal… Expand
The smallest known non-avian theropod dinosaur
Non-avian dinosaurs are mostly medium to large-sized animals, and to date all known mature specimens are larger than the most primitive bird, Archaeopteryx. Here we report on a new dromaeosaurid… Expand
A dromaeosaurid dinosaur with a filamentous integument from the Yixian Formation of China
Dromaeosaurids, despite their notoriety, are poorly characterized meat-eating dinosaurs, and were previously known only from disarticulated or fragmentary specimens. Many studies have denied their… Expand
A basal troodontid from the Early Cretaceous of China

Troodontid dinosaurs form one of the most avian-like dinosaur groups. Their phylogenetic position is hotly debated, and they have been allied with almost all principal coelurosaurian lineages. Here… Expand
A basal ceratopsian with transitional features from the Late Jurassic of northwestern China

- 7 September 2006
Although the Ceratopsia and Pachycephalosauria, two major ornithischian groups, are united as the Marginocephalia, few synapomorphies have been identified due to their highly specialized body-plans.… Expand
A Jurassic ceratosaur from China helps clarify avian digital homologies
Theropods have traditionally been assumed to have lost manual digits from the lateral side inward, which differs from the bilateral reduction pattern seen in other tetrapod groups. This unusual… Expand
A ceratopsian dinosaur from China and the early evolution of Ceratopsia

- 21 March 2002
Ceratopsians (horned dinosaurs) represent one of the last and the most diverse radiations of non-avian dinosaurs. Although recent systematic work unanimously supports a basal division of Ceratopsia… Expand

- 19 September 2002
Oviraptorosaurians are an unusual group of theropod dinosaurs, with highly specialized skulls. Here we report a new oviraptorosaurian, Incisivosaurus gauthieri, gen. et sp. nov., from the lowest part… Expand

The pterosaurs were a diverse group of Mesozoic flying reptiles that underwent a body plan reorganization, adaptive radiation, and replacement of earlier forms midway through their long history,… Expand
Adsorption of hexavalent chromium from aqueous solution by modified corn stalk: a fixed-bed column study.
