Extinction of fish-shaped marine reptiles associated with reduced evolutionary rates and global environmental volatility
The extinction of the ichthyosaurs had previously been attributed to increasing competition or to the loss of their main prey. Here, Fischer et al.analyse phylogenetic and ecological patterns of ichthyosaur diversification and extinction, and find that the decline of the group is more likely due to...
