Coelurosauria is the most diverse clade of theropod dinosaurs. Much of this diversity is
present in Paraves—the clade of dinosaurs containing dromaeosaurids, troodontids, and …

Interpreting key ecological parameters, such as diet, of extinct organisms without the benefit
of direct observation or explicit fossil evidence poses a formidable challenge for …

Isolated theropod teeth are some of the most common fossils in the dinosaur fossil record
and are continually reported in the literature. Recently developed quantitative methods have …

Theropod dinosaurs from the Late Jurassic of Gondwana are still poorly known, with
Elaphrosaurus bambergi, from the late Kimmeridgian of Tendaguru, Tanzania, being the …

Summary The importance of adaptation [1–4] versus organizational constraints [5–7] in
shaping common macroevolutionary trends remains unclear [8]. The fossil record is key to …

The Early Cretaceous fauna of Victoria, Australia, provides unique data on the composition
of high latitude southern hemisphere dinosaurs. We describe and review theropod dinosaur …

Therizinosaurians are among the most poorly understood dinosaurs. Their unusual
morphology and fragmentary fossil record has precluded a synthetic understanding of the …

Theropod teeth are particularly abundant in the fossil record and frequently reported in the
literature. Yet, the dentition of many theropods has not been described comprehensively …

We performed additional preparation on the holotype skeleton of Nqwebasaurus thwazi and
discovered new skeletal material. We describe this material, which includes a maxilla with …

Theropod dinosaurs were the dominant predators in most Mesozoic era terrestrial
ecosystems. Early theropod evolution is currently interpreted as the diversification of various …
