In recent years dinosaurs have captured the attention of the public
at an unprecedented scale. At the heart of this resurgence in
popular interest is an increased level of research activity, much
of which is innovative in the field of palaeontology. For instance,
whereas earlier palaeontological studies emphasized basic
morphologic description and taxonomic classification, modern
studies attempt to examine the role and nature of dinosaurs as
living animals. More than ever before, we understand how these
extinct species functioned, behaved, interacted with each other and
the environment, and evolved. Nevertheless, these studies rely on
certain basic building blocks of knowledge, including facts about
dinosaur anatomy and taxonomic relationships. One of the purposes
of this volume is to unravel some of the problems surrounding
dinosaur systematics and to increase our understanding of dinosaurs
as a biological species. Dinosaur Systematics presents a current
overview of dinosaur systematics using various examples to explore
what is a species in a dinosaur, what separates genders in
dinosaurs, what morphological changes occur with maturation of a
species, and what morphological variations occur within a species.
