This project explores the evolutionary relationship between dinosaurs and early mammals, focusing on whether environmental conditions or competition influenced mammal size and diversity. It examines changes in mammal ecology in response to the rise of flowering plants during the late Cretaceous.
Did dinosaurs suppress the evolution of large mammals, or was early mammal size and diversity more related to the environmental conditions?
Mammals first appeared in the Late Triassic, and lived alongside dinosaurs during the rest of the Mesozoic (Jurassic and Cretaceous), during which time they were all small and generalized in their ecologies.
Only after dinosaur extinction (at the end of the Mesozoic) did mammals diversify into larger and more specialized forms, and so suppression by dinosaur…
