Dinosaurs provide a consistent source of fascination and wonder, offering a unique opportunity to study forms and ecologies that have very little parallel to other periods of Earth’s history. Constant new fossil discoveries, along with the application of the latest technologies and analytical methods, are helping to decipher how dinosaurs first emerged, flourished, and perished; how they grew, moved, looked and behaved; and how they survived to present day, in the form of thousands of bird species.
This collection looks at the latest research on dinosaurs across different fields of palaeontology, anatomy, phylogenetics, ontogeny, and ecology.
