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 …

The bipedal stance and gait of theropod dinosaurs evolved gradually along the lineage
leading to birds and at some point (s), flight evolved. How and when did these changes …

In recent years, avian systematics has been characterized by a diminished reliance on
morphological cladistics of modern taxa, intensive palaeornithogical research stimulated by …
