摘要
Adaptive radiation of Mesozoic-era multituberculate mammals began at least 20 million years before the extinction of non-avian dinosaurs and continued across the Cretaceous–Paleogene boundary—probably as a result of dietary expansion towards herbivory during the ecological rise of angiosperms—and is supported by increases in generic richness and disparity in dental complexity and body size.
