The nature of science: The fundamental role of natural history in ecology, evolution, conservation, and education
There is a contemporary trend in many major research institutions to de‐emphasize the
importance of natural history education in favor of theoretical, laboratory, or simulation …

A brief review of non-avian dinosaur biogeography: state-of-the-art and prospectus
Dinosaurs potentially originated in the mid-palaeolatitudes of Gondwana 245–235 million
years ago (Ma) and may have been restricted to cooler, humid areas by low-latitude arid …

The evolution of mineral hardness reveals both changing parageneses and preservational bias in the mineralogical record
A survey of the average Mohs hardness of minerals throughout Earth's history reveals a
significant and systematic decrease from> 6 in presolar grains to~ 5 for Archean lithologies …

The spatiotemporal distribution of Mesozoic dinosaur diversity
PD Mannion - Biology Letters, 2024 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Much of our view on Mesozoic dinosaur diversity is obscured by biases in the fossil record.
In particular, spatiotemporal sampling heterogeneity affects identification of the timing and …
