Early Triassic marine biotic recovery: the predators' perspective
Examining the geological past of our planet allows us to study periods of severe climatic and
biological crises and recoveries, biotic and abiotic ecosystem fluctuations, and faunal and …

Direct evidence of trophic interactions among apex predators in the Late Triassic of western North America
Hypotheses of feeding behaviors and community structure are testable with rare direct
evidence of trophic interactions in the fossil record (eg, bite marks). We present evidence of …
