The extinction of the dinosaurs
Non‐avian dinosaurs went extinct 66 million years ago, geologically coincident with the
impact of a large bolide (comet or asteroid) during an interval of massive volcanic eruptions …

On impact and volcanism across the Cretaceous-Paleogene boundary
The cause of the end-Cretaceous mass extinction is vigorously debated, owing to the
occurrence of a very large bolide impact and flood basalt volcanism near the boundary …

The evolution of hominoid locomotor versatility: Evidence from Moroto, a 21 Ma site in Uganda
Living hominoids are distinguished by upright torsos and versatile locomotion. It is
hypothesized that these features evolved for feeding on fruit from terminal branches in …
