A big step through (morpho)space and time? The effect of the K-Pg extinction on mammalian morphological evolution »
Popular science asserts that after the extinction of the non-avian dinosaurs at the Cretaceous-Paleogene (K-Pg) boundary 66 million years ago, mammals rapidly diversified to fill newly empty ecological niches. Mammalian morphological diversification status: it's complicated.
