Estimating bite force in extinct dinosaurs using phylogenetically predicted physiological cross-sectional areas of jaw adductor muscles

I present a Bayesian phylogenetic predictive modelling (PPM) framework that allows the prediction of muscle parameters (physiological cross-sectional area, APhys) in extinct archosaurs from skull width (WSk) and phylogeny. This approach is robust to phylogenetic uncertainty and highly versatile give...
