摘要: Dinosaurs arose in the early Triassic aftermath of the greatest mass extinction ever and became hugely successful Mesozoic. Their initial diversification is a classic example large-scale macroevolutionary change. Diversifications at such deep-time scales can now be dissected, modelled tested. New fossils suggest that dinosaurs originated Middle Triassic, during recovery life from devastating Permo-Triassic extinction. Improvements stratigraphic dating new suite morphometric comparative evolutionary numerical methods allow forensic dissection one greatest turnovers history life. Such studies mark move narrative to analytical research, they us begin answer proposal George Gaylord Simpson, explore adaptive radiations using methods.
