Ecology and morphology are different, and yet in comparative studies of fossil vertebrates the two are often conflated. The macroevolution of Mesozoic marine tetrapods has been explored in terms of mo
Understanding the drivers of macroevolutionary trends through the Phanerozoic has been a central question in paleobiology. Increasingly important is understanding the regional and environmental variat
After the mass extinction at the Cretaceous/Paleogene (K/Pg) boundary (~66 Ma), life forms quickly radiated to occupy ecological niches in the world’s oceans. Nevertheless, the aftermath of the Chicxu
Ray-finned fishes (Actinopterygii) comprise nearly half of all modern vertebrate diversity, and are an ecologically and numerically dominant megafauna in most aquatic environments. Crown teleost fishe
