No evidence for directional evolution of body mass in herbivorous theropod dinosaurs
LE Zanno, PJ Makovicky - Proceedings of the Royal …, 2013 - royalsocietypublishing.org
The correlation between large body size and digestive efficiency has been hypothesized to
have driven trends of increasing mass in herbivorous clades by means of directional
selection. Yet, to date, few studies have investigated this relationship from a phylogenetic
perspective, and none, to our knowledge, with regard to trophic shifts. Here, we reconstruct
body mass in the three major subclades of non-avian theropod dinosaurs whose
ecomorphology is correlated with extrinsic evidence of at least facultative herbivory in the …
