Ornithischia The earliest known (Jurassic) ornithischians were small, bipedal cursors with long, muscular cantilever tails and a herbivorous diet (Fig. 25A). They processed food orally using a combination of orthal pulping and irregular occlusal shearing; they were also narrowsnouted (selective) feeders capable of utilizing more readily digested ...

Discrete and continuous character-based disparity analyses converge to the same macroevolutionary signa. A case study from captorhinids [PDF]
The relationship between diversity and disparity during the evolutionary history of a clade provides unique insights into evolutionary radiations and the biological response to bottlenecks and to extinctions.

The armoured dinosaurs, Thyreophora, were a diverse clade of ornithischians known from the Early Jurassic to the end of the Cretaceous. During the Middle and Late Jurassic, the thyreophorans radiated to evolve large body size, quadrupedality, and complex

ABSTRACT New materials of Lesothosaurus diagnosticus permit a detailed understanding of one of the earliest and most primitive ornithischians. Skull proportions and suturai relations can be discerned from several articulated and disarticulated skulls. The snout is proportionately long with a vascularized, horn-covered tip.

Dinosaurs in decline tens of millions of years before their final extinction [PDF]
Whether dinosaurs were in a long-term decline or whether they were reigning strong right up to their final disappearance at the Cretaceous–Paleogene (K-Pg) mass extinction event 66 Mya has been debated for decades with no clear resolution.

Ornithopod diversity in the Griman Creek Formation (Cenomanian), New South Wales, Australia [PDF]
During the Early Cretaceous, dinosaur communities of the Australian-Antarctic rift system (Eumeralla and Wonthaggi formations) cropping out in Victoria were apparently dominated by a diverse small-bodied ‘basal ornithopod’ fauna.
