ImpactModerate impact
The discussions highlight the significance of these findings for understanding evolutionary adaptations, though it is primarily of academic interest.
Abstract in brief
During their evolution from land to sea, extinct crocodile relatives (thalattosuchians) experienced changes in their braincase sinuses similar to cetaceans, but their snout sinuses unexpectedly expanded rather than reduced.
These sinus changes were linked to rapid evolutionary shifts and suggest that thalattosuchians were not well-suited for deep diving, possibly because large snout sinuses helped drain salt glands instead.
Overall, although both thalattosuchians and cetaceans adapted to aquatic life, different constraints shaped their evolutionary paths, with thalattosuchians reaching a semi-pelagic stage but not evolving into fully oceanic species.]
In the Jurassic, some crocodile relatives became full-time ocean dwellers, like whales.
But unlike whales, they had big skull sinuses, which kept them from becoming ace divers.
