Reacquisition of the lower temporal bar in sexually dimorphic fossil lizards provides a rare case of convergent evolution
Temporal fenestration has long been considered a key character to understand relationships amongst reptiles. In particular, the absence of the lower temporal bar (LTB) is considered one of the defining features of squamates (lizards and snakes). In a re-assessment of the borioteiioid lizard Polyglyp...
