Why Did Plant-Munching Theropods Get So Big?

Why Did Plant-Munching Theropods Get So Big? | Research from the NC Agricultural Research Service | Scoop.it
Were these Late Cretaceous dinosaurs just the culmination of an evolutionary trend towards ever-larger body size or was something else at work?

 

Biologist, Dr. Lindsay Zanno of the College of Agriculture & Life Sciences at NC State University & Peter Makovicky of Chicago's Field Museum, investigate the effect of vegetarian and other non-meats on dino size and weight.
