Early reconstructions relied on limited fossils and comparisons to modern reptiles, leading to errors like dragging tails, upright postures, shrink-wrapped bodies, and missing feathers. New evidence from better fossils, CT scans, biomechanical […]

Causes of extinction include natural events like climate change and competition, as well as human-induced factors such as habitat loss, pollution, overhunting and climate change. Extinction has far-reaching consequences for ecosystems and human societies, including the loss of ecosystem services, vulnerability […]
