New dinosaurs include ankylosaurs Gastonia lorriemcwhinneyae and Tarchia teresae, sauropods Austroposeidon magnificus and Savannasaurus elliottorum, and birds Notoleptos giglii, Eostrix gulottai, and Bubo ibericus.

New studies came out on plunge-diving adaptations in sulids, the cranial biomechanics of Plateosaurus engelhardti and Camarasaurus lentus, and the appendicular anatomy of Dreadnoughtus schrani. Migratory life history is found to explain extreme egg size dimorphism in Eudyptes. Cyanopica cyana is discovered to exhibit proactive prosociality. Sanpasaurus yaoi is reinterpreted as a sauropod. A bonebed of Avimimus is described (after having been repeatedly mentioned in gray literature for many years), as are preserved brain tissues of an iguanodontian and a new specimen of Vegavis iaai preserved with a syrinx. Apus apus is reported to spend ten months per year airborne.

Oh dear, there's a dinosaur whose binomial name has the word "yaoi" in it? I should probably not mention that around the folks I hang out with--the cringey jokes would never end XD
It's cool that we have more info on Avimimus and Vegavis too :3
