Aim To reconstruct dinosaur macro‐biogeographical patterns through the Mesozoic Era
using a network‐based approach. We test how continental fragmentation affected dinosaur …

Highly specialized animals are often difficult to place phylogenetically. The Late Cretaceous
members of Alvarezsauria represent such an example, having been posited as members of …

Alvarezsaurian dinosaurs, a group of bizarre theropods with greatly shortened and modified
forelimbs, are known mostly from the Cretaceous of Asia and South America. Here we report …

The biogeographical history of pterosaurs has received very little treatment. Here, we
present the first quantitative analysis of pterosaurian biogeography based on an event …

A new coelurosaurian theropod, Alnashetri cerropoliciensis, is reported here based on
articulated hind limbs of a single individual discovered at the locality of La Buitrera …

The diversity of Australia's theropod fauna from the 'mid'-Cretaceous (Albian–Cenomanian)
is distinctly biased towards the medium-sized megaraptorids, despite the preponderance of …

Our understanding of coelurosaurian evolution, particularly of bird origins, has been greatly
improved, mainly due to numerous recently discovered fossils worldwide. Nearly all these …

Herein we report the first caenagnathid dinosaur (Theropoda, Oviraptorosauria) material
from the Upper Cretaceous Cerro del Pueblo (CdP) Formation of Coahuila, Mexico …

The origin of the avian hand, with its reduced and fused carpals and digits, from the five‐
