New theropod dinosaur remains from the Upper Cretaceous of the Kem Kem Group (Eastern Morocco) clarify spinosaurid morphology (2024)
Journal Article
Hutchinson, J., Lacerda, M. B. S., Isasmendi, E., Delcourt, R., & Fernandes, M. A. (2024). New theropod dinosaur remains from the Upper Cretaceous of the Kem Kem Group (Eastern Morocco) clarify spinosaurid morphology. Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society, https://doi.org/10.1093/zoolinnean/zlae109

The Kem Kem Group is a lowermost lithostratigraphic unit from the Upper Cretaceous that extends along the border between Algeria and Morocco, in the northern region of Africa. This geological unit has yielded several tetrapod fossils, including a wel...

Footfall patterns and stride parameters of Common hippopotamus (Hippopotamus amphibius) on land (2024)
Journal Article
Hutchinson, J., & Pringle, E. V. (2024). Footfall patterns and stride parameters of Common hippopotamus (Hippopotamus amphibius) on land. PeerJ, 12, https://doi.org/10.7717/peerj.17675

Common hippopotamuses (hippos) are among the largest extant land mammals. They thus offer potential further insight into how giant body size on land influences locomotor patterns and abilities. Furthermore, as they have semi-aquatic habits and unusua... Read More about Footfall patterns and stride parameters of Common hippopotamus (Hippopotamus amphibius) on land.

Macroevolutionary patterns in the pelvis, stylopodium and zeugopodium of megalosauroid theropod dinosaurs and their importance for locomotor function (2023)
Journal Article
Lacerda, M., Bittencourt, J., & Hutchinson, J. (2023). Macroevolutionary patterns in the pelvis, stylopodium and zeugopodium of megalosauroid theropod dinosaurs and their importance for locomotor function. Royal Society Open Science, 10(8), https://doi.org/10.1098/rsos.230481

During the Mesozoic, non-avian theropods represented one of the most successful clades globally distributed, with a wide diversity of forms. An example is the clade Megalosauroidea, which included medium- to large-bodied forms. Here, we analyse the m...

Locomotor and postural diversity among reptiles: palaeobiological implications (2023)
Journal Article

The conquest of land by the first tetrapod vertebrates represents a key stage in their evolution. Selection pressures exerted by this new environment on animals led to the emergence of new locomotor and postural strategies that favoured access to dif...
