Body size and evolutionary rate analyses reveal complex evolutionary history of Alvarezsauria
Abstract Some of the smallest examples of dinosaurian body size are from alvarezsaurians, an enigmatic group of maniraptoran coelurosaurians with a peculiar combination of anatomical features unique among theropods. Despite the large number of alvarezsaurian species described worldwide and the increased understanding this has provided, the body‐size ...
