The rise of macropredatory pliosaurids near the Early-Middle Jurassic transition
The emergence of gigantic pliosaurid plesiosaurs reshaped the trophic structure of Mesozoic marine ecosystems, and established an ~ 80 million-year (Ma) dynasty of macropredatory marine reptiles. However, the timescale of their ‘defining’ trait evolution is incompletely understood because the fossi...
