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 …

Faunal turnover of marine tetrapods during the J urassic–C retaceous transition
RBJ Benson, PS Druckenmiller - Biological Reviews, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
Marine and terrestrial animals show a mosaic of lineage extinctions and diversifications

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 …

A new hypothesis of dinosaur relationships and early dinosaur evolution
MG Baron, DB Norman, PM Barrett - Nature, 2017 - nature.com
For 130 years, dinosaurs have been divided into two distinct clades—Ornithischia and
Saurischia. Here we present a hypothesis for the phylogenetic relationships of the major …

Across space and time: A review of sampling, preservational, analytical, and anthropogenic biases in fossil data across macroecological scales
Quantitative studies of fossil data have proven critical to a number of major
macroevolutionary and macroecological discoveries, such as the 'Big 5'mass extinctions of …

The Silurian–Devonian terrestrial revolution: Diversity patterns and sampling bias of the vascular plant macrofossil record
During the mid-Palaeozoic, vascular land plants (ie, tracheophytes) underwent a great
radiation that triggered the development of the land biosphere–the so-called Silurian …

Body mass estimation in non‐avian bipeds using a theoretical conversion to quadruped stylopodial proportions
Body mass is strongly related to both physiological and ecological properties of living
organisms. As a result, generating robust, broadly applicable models for estimating body …
