A major uncertainty in estimating energy budgets and population densities of extinct animals is the carrying capacity of their ecosystems, constrained by net primary productivity (NPP) and its digestible energy content. The hypothesis that increases... Read More about Diets of giants: the nutritional value of sauropod diet during the Mesozoic.
