▪ Abstract Vertebrate dispersal of fruits and seeds is a common feature of many modern
angiosperms and gymnosperms, yet the evolution and frequency of this feature in the fossil …

Early dinosaur evolution has been the subject of several phylogenetic studies and the
position of certain basal forms is currently debated. This is the case for the oldest known …
