Dynamics of dental evolution in ornithopod dinosaurs

HIGHLIGHTS

  • who: Edward Strickson from the SchoolUniversity of have published the research: Dynamics of dental evolution in ornithopod dinosaurs, in the Journal: Scientific Reports Scientific Reports
  • what: The authors provide a quantitative macroevolutionary perspective on the evolutionary dynamics of ornithopod dentition. The authors find that diversity and disparity are decoupled - compare the offset peaks in both metrics (Fig 4), in which ornithopod dental disparity peaked in the Coniacian-Santonian, but diversity peaked in the Campanian.
  • how: To ensure that the data were compatible with principal coordinate analysis (PCO) and other disparity analyses taxa with . . .
