Craniocervical myology and functional morphology of the small-headed therizinosaurian theropods Falcarius utahensis and Nothronychus mckinleyi. by David K Smith

“…Following descriptions of the basicrania of the North American therizinosaurs Falcarius utahenisis and Nothronychus mckinleyi, the craniocervical musculature in both taxa is reconstructed using Tyrannosaurus, Allosaurus, and some extant birds as models. These muscles are subdivided into functional groups as dorsiflexors, lateroflexors, and ventroflexors. …”

Big boned: How fat storage and other adaptations influenced large theropod foraging ecology. by Cameron C Pahl, Luis A Ruedas

“…Theropod dinosaurs modeled in this environment (specifically allosauroids, and more particularly, Allosaurus Marsh, 1877) were instantiated with heritable traits favorable to either hunting success or scavenging success. …”

Forearm Range of Motion in Australovenator wintonensis (Theropoda, Megaraptoridae). by Matt A White, Phil R Bell, Alex G Cook, David G Barnes, Travis R Tischler, Brant J Bassam, David A Elliott

“…Digital models created from computed tomography scans of the holotype reveal a humerus range of motion that is much greater than Allosaurus, Acrocanthosaurus, Tyrannosaurus but similar to that of the dromaeosaurid Bambiraptor. …”

Fluvial transport potential of shed and root-bearing dinosaur teeth from the late Jurassic Morrison Formation by Joseph E. Peterson, Jason J. Coenen, Christopher R. Noto

“…In order to determine the influence of fluvial processes on the preservation and distribution of shed and root-bearing dinosaur teeth, the hydrodynamic behaviors of high-density urethane resin casts of shed and root-bearing Allosaurus and Camarasaurus teeth were experimentally tested for relative transport distances at increasing flow velocities in an artificial fluviatile environment. …”

Cranial functional specialisation for strength precedes morphological evolution in Oviraptorosauria by Luke E. Meade, Michael Pittman, Amy Balanoff, Stephan Lautenschlager

“…Finite element analyses indicate oviraptorosaurian crania were stronger than those of other herbivorous theropods (Erlikosaurus and Ornithomimus) and were more comparable to the large, carnivorous Allosaurus. The cranial biomechanics of Incisivosaurus align with oviraptorids, indicating an early establishment of distinctive strengthened cranial biomechanics in Oviraptorosauria, even before the highly modified oviraptorid cranial morphology. …”

A buoyancy, balance and stability challenge to the hypothesis of a semi-aquatic Spinosaurus Stromer, 1915 (Dinosauria: Theropoda) by Donald M. Henderson

“…Similarly detailed models of another spinosaurid Baryonyx (Suchomimus) tenerensis Sereno et al. 1998, along with models of the more distantly related Tyrannosaurus rex Osborn 1905, Allosaurus fragilis Marsh 1877, Struthiomimus altus Lambe 1902, and Coelophysis bauri Cope 1887 were also able to float in positions that enabled the animals to breathe freely, showing that there is nothing exceptional about a floating Spinosaurus. …”

A computational analysis of locomotor anatomy and body mass evolution in Allosauroidea (Dinosauria: Theropoda) by Bates, K, Benson, R, Falkingham, P

“…Predictions from 3-D musculoskeletal models of medium-sized (Allosaurus) and large-bodied (Acrocanthosaurus) allosauroids suggest that muscle leverage scaled close to isometry, well below the positive allometry required to compensate for declining muscle cross-sectional area with increasing body size. …”

New data towards the development of a comprehensive taphonomic framework for the Late Jurassic Cleveland-Lloyd Dinosaur Quarry, Central Utah by Joseph E. Peterson, Jonathan P. Warnock, Shawn L. Eberhart, Steven R. Clawson, Christopher R. Noto

“…Unlike typical Jurassic bone deposits, it is dominated by the presence of Allosaurus fragilis. Since excavation began in the 1920s, numerous hypotheses have been put forward to explain the taphonomy of CLDQ, including a predator trap, a drought assemblage, and a poison spring. …”

Taxonomic and stratigraphic update of the material historically attributed to Megalosaurus from Portugal by Elisabete Malafaia, Pedro Mocho, Fernando Escaso, Ivan Narvaéz, Francisco Ortega

“…Most specimens actually belong to different theropod groups, including several isolated teeth from different Upper Jurassic localities here assigned to Ceratosaurus, Torvosaurus, and Allosaurus, as well as an isolated tooth from the Lower Cretaceous that is attributed to an indeterminate allosauroid. …”
