  1. "Avialian status of Gargantuavis philoinos confirmed"

    Was there ever any doubt about this?

  2. It appears that some suggested it may have been a pterosaur at one point.

  3. "Unenlagiines may be avialians after all"

    Spinosaurian avialians = Crazy Awesome.

  4. "New species of Jeholornis J. palmapenis"

    Great. Another name to add to the list of pervosaurs. Stand aside Pedopenna and Erectopus. -_-

  5. "Unenlagiines may be avialians after all"

    Isn't the same true for microraptorines & troodontids?

    1. It is possible, though I don't know of any recent studies specifically tackling the possibility of those.

  6. "Review of Jurassic maniraptors (and other coelurosaurs) with new, yet-to-be-analyzed hypothesis on phylogeny"

    Care to explain? The Dinosaur Tracking link is dead; the Theropoda link is unintelligible even when translated.

  7. Could you add an option to view news by category (Therizinosaurs, Alvarezsauroids, Oviraptorosaurs, Deinonychosaurs, Avialians & All)?

    1. I don't think I can add such a function to the page itself (unless I do it by HTML, which I don't know how to). I could try making new pages and linking to them on this main page, though I'm not sure if I'd want to.

  8. Will you mention the Unquillosaurus news?

    1. Probably not, as that's not something that paper was focused on.

  9. What, no mention of Erlikosaurus' bite force?

    1. I'm not always punctual in updating this page, and I was waiting for the DML archives to update.
