Research on the evolutionary relationships of dinosaurs has revealed intriguing insights into which modern animals are their closest living relatives. This synthesis of recent studies provides a clearer picture of the connections between ancient dinosaurs and contemporary species.
In conclusion, the closest living relatives to dinosaurs are birds, specifically within the group of dromaeosaurs. Additionally, tunicates are now considered the closest living relatives of vertebrates, including dinosaurs. The discovery of diverse ecomorphologies among maniraptorans and the study of lagerpetids provide further context for the evolutionary history and adaptations of dinosaurs and their kin.
