A redescription of Brouffia orientalis Carroll & Baird, 1972 from the Upper Carboniferous of the Czech Republic and the status and affinities of protorothyridid amniotes
The Upper Carboniferous protorothyridid amniote Brouffia orientalis from Czech Republic is redescribed. Photogrammetric scanning of the holotype and only known specimen yields considerable new information on the skull and postcranium of this tetrapod and allows us to amend previous morphological descriptions to a substantial degree. A virtual 3D model built from photogrammetry scan data is used as the basis for a new reconstruction of the skull in dorsal, lateral, and ventral aspects and the lower jaw in lateral aspect. We expand and refine the diagnosis of Brouffia and compare it with other protorothyridids. We discuss the affinities of this taxon by coding it in a recently published data matrix of early amniotes, which we subject to maximum parsimony and Bayesian fossilized birth–death analyses. Brouffia emerges as the sister taxon to Coelostegus in all analyses, but the position of these two taxa within amniotes varies. In a parsimony analysis with unweighted characters, the (Brouffia + Coelostegus) clade forms the sister group to Synapsida. In various experiments of character reweighting, that clade is placed crownward of Captorhinidae on the stem-group of Reptilia, but anticrownward of remaining protorothyridids. The latter constitute either a paraphyletic array relative to Diapsida or their monophyletic sister group. The Bayesian analysis retrieves (Brouffia + Coelostegus) as the most basal plesion on the stem-group of Reptilia.
期刊介绍:
The Swiss Journal of Palaeontology publishes original research and review articles of interest to the international community in the fields of palaeontology, taxonomy and systematics, while recognising at the same time the importance of documenting high-quality palaeontological data in a regional context. Palaeobiology in combination with alpha taxonomy is a core topic of the journal.
Submitted papers should have an appeal as wide as possible, directed towards an international readership. Contributions should not have been simultaneously submitted elsewhere, and the overlap of content between related articles should be minimal. Duplications of text and the use of previously published illustrations without adequate citation are unacceptable. If a manuscript has two or more authors, both or all have to sign to confirm they all were involved in the work and have agreed to its submission. The preferred manuscript language is UK English, but consistently used US English is also acceptable. We encourage the publication of proceedings of international meetings as well as special thematic issues. Short contributions and book reviews are also accepted.
An international editorial team as well as guest editors guarantee that the thematic issues as well as all articles in regular issues are peer-reviewed and meet the highest standards.
