Theropod dinosaurs form a highly diversified clade, and their teeth are some of the most
common components of the Mesozoic dinosaur fossil record. This is the case in the Lourinhã …

Predator-prey dynamics are an important evolutionary driver of escalating predation mode
and efficiency, and commensurate responses of prey [1–3]. Among these strategies …

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 …

Spinosaurids are among the most distinctive and yet poorly-known of large-bodied theropod
dinosaurs, a situation exacerbated by their mostly fragmentary fossil record and competing …
