Reconstructing the diversity of early terrestrial herbivorous tetrapods
Terrestrial herbivorous tetrapods first appear in the fossil record during the Late Carboniferous (306.5. Ma). The diversification of herbivores is a key aspect of the transition to the modern trophic structure of terrestrial vertebrate ecosystems, because it allowed tetrapods to exploit terrestrial...
