Assessing ontogenetic maturity in extinct saurian reptiles
Morphology forms the most fundamental level of data in vertebrate palaeontology because it
is through interpretations of morphology that taxa are identified, creating the basis for broad …

Cope's rule and the adaptive landscape of dinosaur body size evolution
The largest known dinosaurs weighed at least 20 million times as much as the smallest,
indicating exceptional phenotypic divergence. Previous studies have focused on extreme …

Rates of dinosaur body mass evolution indicate 170 million years of sustained ecological innovation on the avian stem lineage
Large-scale adaptive radiations might explain the runaway success of a minority of extant
vertebrate clades. This hypothesis predicts, among other things, rapid rates of morphological …
