Pleased to announce that our Encyclopedia of Biodiversity (3rd Ed.) chapter ‘#Dinosaurs, Extinction Theories for', co-authored w/ @SteveBrusatte, is out now! doi.org/10.1016/B978-0…
🦖☄ A short thread 👇1/6

This is a follow-up to Archibald & MacLeod (2001), in which we review the current evidence behind the consensus & the state of the art around the debate on the drivers of the K/Pg mass extinction. (2/6)
