Fossils

Nebraska’s Kate Lyons, Assistant Professor, School of Biological Sciences, stands in Elephant Hall at the University of Nebraska State Museum. Behind her looms Archie, the largest Columbian mammoth fossil in the world. A study from Lyons and colleagues has found that the extinction of large mammal species, including the Columbian mammoth, likely contributed to the homogenization of North America’s mammal communities.

Kate Lyons, Assistant Professor of Biological Sciences, eyes the skeleton of an Allosaurus at the University of Nebraska State Museum. Research from Lyons and colleagues at the University of New Mexico suggests that the offspring of massive bipedal dinosaurs outcompeted medium-sized species for food, which would help explain the surprising lack of species diversity in an animal group that dominated the planet for roughly 140 million years.
