The following database presents examples of papers in this area. Many of the leading palaeontological journals and publications were checked, but this review is far from being exhaustive. If you know of papers which should be listed but are not, we would appreciate if you contact us with suggestions. Much of the data presented here have been reviewed in the following publication:

Sánchez-Villagra MR. 2010. Developmental palaeontology in synapsids: the rock record of ontogeny in mammals and their closest relatives. Proc. Roy. Soc. B. In press.

This review does not include information on hominids. For that, see the following review publication:

Zollikofer CPE, Ponce de León MS. 2010. The evolution of hominin ontogenies. In: Sánchez-Villagra MR (ed). Developmental Vertebrate Palaeontology. Seminars in Cell and Developmental Biology. doi:10.1016/j.semcdb.2009.12.001.
