Skeletal pathologies track body plan evolution in ichthyosaurs
Changing predator-prey interactions during the Mesozoic Marine Revolution (MMR) profoundly altered the trajectory of marine tetrapod evolution. Here, we assess potential signatures of this landmark transition through the fossil record of skeletal pathologies in ichthyosaurs — iconic marine reptiles...
