A computational analysis of locomotor anatomy and body mass evolution in Allosauroidea (Dinosauria: Theropoda)

We investigate whether musculoskeletal anatomy and three-dimensional (3-D) body proportions were modified during the evolution of large (>6000 kg) body size in Allosauroidea (Dinosauria: Theropoda). Three adaptations for maintaining locomotor performance at large body size, related to muscle...
