[HTML][HTML] A giant dinosaur from the earliest Jurassic of South Africa and the transition to quadrupedality in early sauropodomorphs
Sauropod dinosaurs were dominant, bulk-browsing herbivores for 130 million years of the

The influence of juvenile dinosaurs on community structure and diversity
Despite dominating biodiversity in the Mesozoic, dinosaurs were not speciose. Oviparity
constrained even gigantic dinosaurs to less than 15 kg at birth; growth through multiple …
