The latitudinal biodiversity gradient through deep time
Today, biodiversity decreases from equatorial to polar regions. This is a fundamental pattern
governing the distribution of extant organisms, the understanding of which is critical to …

Osteology of the Late Jurassic Portuguese sauropod dinosaur Lusotitan atalaiensis (Macronaria) and the evolutionary history of basal titanosauriforms
Titanosauriforms represent a diverse and globally distributed clade of neosauropod
dinosaurs, but their inter-relationships remain poorly understood. Here we redescribe …
