During the Mesozoic (242–66 million years ago), terrestrial regions underwent a massive shift in their size, position and connectivity. At the beginning of the era, the land masses were joined into a
Here we explore the potential of sauropod dinosaurs to adopt a bipedal or tripodal stance using digital biomechanical modeling and Finite Element Analysis (FEA). Seven sauropod species from diverse li
Biome distributions for Beringia were simulated for the Late Quaternary periods by employing a global equilibrium biogeochemistry-biogeography model, BIOME4. This model was driven by the same numerica
N is the number of data points in the data set; M is the number of specimens from which the data were obtained. Type indicates the kind of data set: whole bone (W) or longitudinal (L). See Table S6 fo
