The fast and the frugal: Divergent locomotory strategies drive limb lengthening in theropod dinosaurs
Limb length, cursoriality and speed have long been areas of significant interest in theropod paleobiology, since locomotory capacity, especially running ability, is critical in the pursuit of prey and to avoid becoming prey. The impact of allometry on running ability, and the limiting effect of larg...
