Biodiversity across space and time in the fossil record
The fossil record is the primary source of information on how biodiversity has varied in deep
time, providing unique insight on the long-term dynamics of diversification and their drivers …

Morphology and distribution of scales, dermal ossifications, and other non‐feather integumentary structures in non‐avialan theropod dinosaurs
Modern birds are typified by the presence of feathers, complex evolutionary innovations that
were already widespread in the group of theropod dinosaurs (Maniraptoriformes) that …

Dinosaur biodiversity declined well before the asteroid impact, influenced by ecological and environmental pressures
The question why non-avian dinosaurs went extinct 66 million years ago (Ma) remains
unresolved because of the coarseness of the fossil record. A sudden extinction caused by …

How should we estimate diversity in the fossil record? Testing richness estimators using sampling‐standardised discovery curves
To infer genuine patterns of biodiversity change in the fossil record, we must be able to
accurately estimate relative differences in numbers of taxa (richness) despite considerable …
