2001 A. Watson Armour Symposium: The Paleobiology and Phylogenetics of Large Theropods. The study of theropod dinosaurs has been reborn in the past two decades, thanks to new analytical methods and spectacular new discoveries around the world. But most attention has been directed towards the smaller forms and their relationships to living theropods. Significant advances have also been made in our understanding of the larger theropods - the tyrannosaurids, abelisaurids, allosauroids, spinosauroids, and their relatives. An improved understanding of such giants will clearly help us understand Theropoda as a whole, but they are also interesting in their own right, raising questions not approachable with smaller theropods. This symposium brought together some of the top researchers on these important animals. They addressed issues ranging from life history and phylogeny to function and comparative anatomy. This one-day symposium took place on Saturday, May 12, and included presentations by: Christopher Brochu Matthew Carrano Hans Larsson Thomas Holtz Rodolfo Coria John Hutchinson Elizabeth Rega Emily Rayfield Peter Makovicky Leon Claessens Access the talk schedule and titles (Adobe Acrobat file).
