Madagascar is one of the world's hottest biodiversity hot spots due to its diverse, endemic,
and highly threatened biota. This biota shows a distinct signature of evolution in isolation …

▪ Abstract Neither geologists nor biologists have a definition that is capable of classifying
Madagascar unambiguously as an island or a continent; nor can they incorporate Malagasy …

Tetanuran theropods represent the majority of Mesozoic predatory dinosaur diversity and
the lineage leading to extant Aves. Thus their history is relevant to understanding the …

Recent fieldwork in the Upper Cretaceous (Maastrichtian) Maevarano Formation, northwest
Madagascar, has yielded important new skull material of the abelisaurid theropod …

Recent discoveries and analyses have drawn increased attention to Ceratosauria, a

Isolated theropod teeth are common Mesozoic fossils and would be an important data
source for paleoecology biogeography if they could be reliably identified as having come …

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 …
