The ecological origins of snakes as revealed by skull evolution
The ecological origin of snakes remains amongst the most controversial topics in evolution,
with three competing hypotheses: fossorial; marine; or terrestrial. Here we use a geometric …

Evolution of extreme ontogenetic allometric diversity and heterochrony in pythons, a clade of giant and dwarf snakes
Ontogenetic allometry, how species change with size through their lives, and heterochony, a
decoupling between shape, size, and age, are major contributors to biological diversity …

Cranial ontogenetic variation in early saurischians and the role of heterochrony in the diversification of predatory dinosaurs
Non-avian saurischian skulls underwent at least 165 million years of evolution and shapes
varied from elongated skulls, such as in the theropod Coelophysis, to short and box-shaped …
