Co-occurrence of Dinosaurs and Relatives:
New Lagerpetid Discovery:
Amphibious Ecomorphology in Maniraptorans:
The research highlights significant findings in the early diversification and ecological adaptations of dinosaurs and their closest relatives. The co-occurrence of dinosaurs and other dinosauromorphs in the Triassic period and the discovery of new species with unique traits provide valuable insights into their evolutionary history. Additionally, the identification of amphibious adaptations in certain maniraptorans underscores the diverse ecological niches these ancient creatures occupied.
