Expanded phylogeny elucidates Deinosuchus relationships, crocodylian osmoregulation and body-size evolution

Abstract Transmarine distribution and gigantism in the Late Cretaceous North American crocodyliform Deinosuchus has been difficult to reconcile with consistently inferred phylogenetic relationships to alligatorids, an otherwise freshwater and smaller-bodied group. We present an expanded phylogeny wi...
