Osteohistology of a Triassic dinosaur population reveals highly variable growth trajectories typified early dinosaur ontogeny
Abstract Intraspecific variation in growth trajectories provides a fundamental source of variation upon which natural selection acts. Recent work hints that early dinosaurs possessed elevated levels of such variation compared to other archosaurs, but comprehensive data uniting body size, bone histol...
