The evolution of methods for establishing evolutionary timescales
The fossil record is well known to be incomplete. Read literally, it provides a distorted view of
the history of species divergence and extinction, because different species have different …

A new giant titanosaur sheds light on body mass evolution among sauropod dinosaurs
Titanosauria was the most diverse and successful lineage of sauropod dinosaurs. This clade
