Cope's rule and the adaptive landscape of dinosaur body size evolution
The largest known dinosaurs weighed at least 20 million times as much as the smallest,
indicating exceptional phenotypic divergence. Previous studies have focused on extreme …

The accuracy and precision of body mass estimation in non‐avian dinosaurs
Inferring the body mass of fossil taxa, such as non‐avian dinosaurs, provides a powerful tool
for interpreting physiological and ecological properties, as well as the ability to study these …

Dynamic similarity and the peculiar allometry of maximum running speed
Animal performance fundamentally influences behaviour, ecology, and evolution. It typically
varies monotonously with size. A notable exception is maximum running speed; the fastest …

A tiny ornithodiran archosaur from the Triassic of Madagascar and the role of miniaturization in dinosaur and pterosaur ancestry
Early members of the dinosaur–pterosaur clade Ornithodira are very rare in the fossil record,
obscuring our understanding of the origins of this important group. Here, we describe an …
